Dig Deep for Kids raffle
In 2006 PCRG raised $5,500 for the
Queensland Cancer Fund during the Countdown to Gold Coast
campaign.
The charity that has been selected
for the Hunt Lawyers/PCRG Gold Coast 2007 Campaign is
Childhood Cancer Support (CCS). In 2006 PCRG member Elaine
Gallagher (a cancer survivor) inspired PCRG members during the
''Dig deep for Elaine'' campaign.
Here are a few words from Susan
(my Susan) which I am sure will provide you with the inspiration
to become involved with the PCRG ''Dig deep for the Kids''
campaign.
___________________________________________
In
1992 when my 12 month old son, Matthew Patrick, was diagnosed
with a rare liver tumour, our lives turned completely upside
down & inside out. My husband & I quit our jobs & with our 4
year old son Ben, began a 12 month journey of dangerous
operations, chemo, constant appointments, sleeping on hospital
floors for 24-48 hours at a time, living with no income & facing
new disappointments every day. At the same time we were trying
our best to keep a ‘normal’ life for Ben who had just started
his first year at kindergarten.
It was at this time that I was introduced to CLCS
now known as CCS (Childhood Cancer Support). They offered us
invaluable support, understanding & information. We lived 10
minutes from the hospital but our lives still became chaotic
with no routine. It was at CCS that I met the families that CCS
helped. Families facing the same life changing events but unlike
us, they were many many kilometers from home & support. CCS
offers families not only a place to ‘stay’ out of hospital
grounds but offers invaluable support & creates a small
community away from home that understands.
Our
little “Matty Patty” passed away 11 years ago but sadly there
continues to be many more little children diagnosed with cancer
& many from areas outside of Brisbane. Necessary medical care
takes these children away from their homes, schools &
communities.
Funds raised during this years PCRG Gold Coast
campaign will help CCS to continue providing the much needed
accommodation and support for the families dealing with
childhood cancer.
