23.01.2022 The entire team at Rise Above is saddened this morning to hear of the passing of our Dear Founder Yvonne Cuschieri OAM. The Cancer Support Group (now Rise Above) began in 1985 when Yvonne Cuschieri started raising funds to enable 13 local teenagers with cancer to attend a CanTeen national camp. It wasn’t long before social workers started asking for her help for other families who were facing crisis situations. In March 1986, Yvonne asked friends for their help and the first... Cancer Support Group meeting was held in her dining room. Yvonne and volunteers ran all operations of The Cancer Support Group for 15 years until the workload required additional full-time staff to organise fundraisers and administration. Our thoughts and prayers go to Yvonne's family and to everyone she touched with her wonderful generosity. RIP Yvonne and thank you xoxox Pic : The Queanbeyan Age
