The Mackay Maltese Club had the pleasure of hosting a morning tea and cent sale last Tuesday, May 30 at the residence of Rose and Joe Borg.
Members of the Trudy Crowley Foundation were invited to the morning tea to talk about ovarian cancer and the importance of getting checked.
Ovarian Cancer Ambassador Bridgeen Doherty spoke about her own ovarian cancer journey and the work of the foundation, while Founder and Vision Advocate Jacquie Camilleri spoke about the foundation's vision of a palliative care sanctuary.
Board member Councillor Pauline Townsend and Patron of the foundation Councillor Fran Mann were in attendance, showing their support of the great cause.
The Mackay Maltese Club raised and donated $2,000 to the Trudy Crowley Foundation, to go towards the planned palliative care sanctuary.
The cheque was presented to Ovarian Palliative Care Nurses Rosie Standard and Chris Giannangelo.
“It was a beautiful day with many goodies and wins,” said Mackay Maltese Club Secretary Veronica Gauci.
“Thank you to all who attended and helped with the day.
“We appreciate your ongoing support.”
