Our home in Wantirna South, centennial lodge, celebrated its biggest morning tea in may this year since the campaign first started in 2013. This year, Centennial Lodge raised over $150. Carers, invited friends, residents and family gathered together, then donated the much-needed funds to help beat cancer.
Proceeds go to Cancer Council’s work in research, prevention and patient support.
“Hosting a morning tea is very rewarding and a great way to help people improve their lives,” says Centennial Lodge Lifestyle Coordinator, Jackie Maksik.
Nearly 40 per cent of Australian cancer deaths are preventable.
