Change of plans

Back so soon?

Well we've had a mini meeting and decided that we should raise some money first before purchasing an anniversary gift marking ten years since the Queensland Lung Transplant Unit was formed at Prince Charles Hospital in Brisbane. There wasn't much enthusiasm for the painting I showed you in the last update.

We're looking to raise $2,500 to $3,000 which amounts to about $25.00 to $30.00 per transplantee. There is no reason why relatives and friends shouldn't be part of this as they too have benefited from the fact that their loved one is alive due to the efforts of the transplant team. There are also a number of recipients who had surgery interstate but receive ongoing care at Prince Charles.

Glenda Murray is co-coordinating donations. Anyone who'd like to contribute should make cheques or money orders payable to "Lung Transplant Account" and sent to Glenda Murray, 29 Ballinderry Street, Everton Park, Qld 4053.

Until next time.

Ben
