Letter from Board Chair

Hello and welcome to the Spring Edition of the Shine Newsletter.

What a busy year it has been so far for the Trust Fund. We have welcomed new Board Members (Shona Stanton and Richard Lukins), finalised our 2024-25 Strategic Plan, graciously accepted both small and large donations from our community members, and have launched the 2024 Sunshine Walk! Yes, we have been busy!

Our Board Members have been busy meeting with both Donors and Clubs who have volunteered many hours of their time to support our mission. Without you, our community, we would be unable to create lasting change. It is the strength of our community that drives us forward.

This edition focusses on our Four Pillars and how together, we are creating lasting change. Be sure to read about how we have invested in the Wellness Centre services, Staff Education, Research and Equipment purchased to help our cancer patients in our region.

Our Sunshine Walk is on Sunday 10 November and we encourage all in our community and beyond to take part in this fun filled event. For those of you who are new to the Sunshine Walk, it is our biggest annual fundraising event that promises a distance to suit everyone. Whether you walk 5, 10 or 20km, every step counts. Bring a friend or loved one and share in the fun.

We are in the process of creating Walk on Sunshine Honour Boards that will be ready to display at the conclusion of the 2024 Walk. These Honour Boards will publicly recognise and celebrate your contributions towards helping us to achieve our mission.

In amongst this hive of activity, we have approved Grant Applications that promise to improve services at the Cancer Centre, and we now have a brand-new e-magazine version of the Shine Newsletter that you can read online.

Make sure you follow us on the AWRCCTF Facebook and Instagram pages to keep up to date with all news.

 

Yours in Sunshine,

Michelle Hensel
