Thaks to everyone that attended our meeting last week. Neville gave tremendously interesting talk, and I am sure I was not the only one impressed by all he has seen and done. The question was also raised of whether he glows in the dark after a lifetime of exposure to a cocktail of chemicals.
On Tuesday we are off to UniSA for a presentation about the Royal Flying Dr Service and some egg sandwiches. I Look forward to seeing many of you there.
Thank you, 90km and $1,532!
This September, I'm walking 75km for the 75 Australians who die from pancreatic cancer each week.
Pancreatic cancer is the toughest common cancer, and because early-stage pancreatic cancer rarely causes symptoms, the survival rates are devastating.
Right now, 12 Australians are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer every day. It is the 3rd biggest cancer killer in Australia.
But research can change this. Your support will fund groundbreaking pancreatic cancer research and improve survival rates.
Please make a donation to support me, and together...
We will remember them. We will honour them. We will fight for them
This is the last week to donate to Jan's Remember September appeal. If you have a fundraiser or event you would like to share, please reach out to Mary or Neil.
Distance, road conditions, weather and competing priorities for many rural patients hamper access to healthcare.
This presentation will look at the introduction of telehealth services in rural areas as a means of overcoming barriers to healthcare.
