21.01.2022 We’re over the ... The Happy Wanderers Relay4Life Team’s overnight screening of Bohemian Rhapsody has today allowed us to close our $48,000 appeal to buy our first-ever bipolar plasma resection system. This will significantly reduce the risk of surgical complications and side effects associated with trans urethral resection of the prostate the surgical procedure for prostate cancer. It means the men we’re now diagnosing with prostate cancer (thanks to the $306,000 prostate... cancer detector that arrived in our operating theatres last week) can receive the very best follow-up surgery. The Happy Wanderers donated the final $2,234.50 needed for us to hit our target, which a little earlier today had been whittled down another $1,180 courtesy of a Holcim Tarrone Quarry raffle. Here’s the other amazing donors responsible for getting us over the line: Ceebeks Business Solutions for Good (with support from the Count Charitable Foundation); Lions Club of Mortlake; Lions Club of Port FairyBelfast; Ray Anderson’s Johnny Cash Tribute; Western District Crane Services; Warrnambool Fly Fishers Club; Barrie Simons; West Fridge; Tin Shed Singers; Cindy Lee Ensemble; Lady Bay Social Club; Koroit & District Senior Citizens Centre; Port Fairy Massage; 2018 Warrnambool Masquerade Ball Committee; Warrnambool Lawn Tennis Bowling Club; Koroit Exercise Group, and supporters of last month’s super-successful Bike & Rod Run Committee: Tasweld Engineering; Southern Tools; AEI Transport; Serpentine Road House; Lindsay Cottees Goodyear; Jellie Laidlaw; Matthews Petroleum; Mark Unwin; Monk & Sons, and Austrex. Since May we’ve raised $354,000 to bring the best prostate cancer-specific surgical equipment and technology to Warrnambool to spare local men having to travel away.
