SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE
Funds raised will be used as capital for the construction of the units in CareWest Lodge.
The people who will benefit the most from the CareWest Lodge project are those in the towns 100km or more from the Radiotherapy Unit in Orange who cannot return home each day after each treatment dose.
This will be the case for people from Dubbo, Narromine, Mudgee, Parkes Condobolin, Cowra, Lithgow and beyond. Patient and carers will live in the accommodation units of CareWest Lodge for periods up to seven weeks. This will be a "home away from home".
Fundraising by each community is encouraged to support future cancer patients from that community.
If your town would like to publicise an event in our Cancer Care column in Orange, please contact Jan Savage by phone 02 6362 7665 or email for details.
