Martin CAMERON (Morwell) (12:54): Latrobe Regional Health cancer care fundraiser day was held a couple of Sundays ago. It is a time where the cancer unit is needing more funds. The community, through the Moe Racing Club – and a special shout-out to Cassandra Rendell and the entire board there – came up with the idea that we were going to have a fundraising day at the races. Over 200 people attended this particular day. Kellie Eddy was our MC and did a marvellous job for the day. We raised over $26,000, which goes directly to the cancer care centre, which was an absolutely wonderful effort. Thank you to all the sponsors with their donations and everyone who attended. We look forward to our second year at it next year, and hopefully it will be an ongoing event, because as we know, cancer has no friends and we need to do whatever we can to eradicate it.
