11.01.2022 A lovely lady makes a generous donation On Sunday Cheryl Pendlebury called to say her husband Allan had lost his five year fight with cancer. She asked us to pick up Allan’s two wheelchairs that he leased from us. Cheryl then asked us find a suitable cancer patient, that she could donate her wheelchair accessible car. After a little thought we approached Kerrie Eagleton who’s husband Chris has his own battle with cancer. Chris wants to be able to go out for coffee and take in... the views. Kerrie and Chris were overjoyed with the gift lots of tears were shed. Thank you Cheryl you have changed their lives. A little more about Cheryl when she turned 70 she asked her friends to donate to the Illawarra cancer carers in lieu of presents. We received over a $1000. See more
