This is an open thank you letter to all the wonderful donors and supporters who made our inaugural fundraiser an outstanding success.
Your support came in various ways and forms, but every contribution was welcomed and we will strive to ensure that it will make a difference for those who need support during what is a very difficult time for each individual and their extended families.
What we are about: “Lilli Pilli Ladies is a group of like-minded women from Kempsey who intend to raise funds and awareness of women’s cancers” – @lillipilliladies on Facebook.
We are so very grateful to all business owners, individuals and supporters who excelled themselves by providing wide-ranging and generous support for our fundraising day at Sherwood recently. We are sending this letter to pass on our group’s sincere gratitude for the assistance that you provided to us – our simple thank you seems so inadequate given the circumstances!
Our aim was to raise funds to facilitate the purchase of a centrifuge machine for the North Coast Area Health Cancer Institute based in Port Macquarie and servicing the Macleay. Your support has meant that not only have we been able to fully fund the purchase of this high-tech machine, but additionally, we have also been able to purchase two sofa beds for the Mid North Coast Area Health Kempsey Palliative Care wards. These two beds will allow the family of very ill patients to remain together overnight and to have access to comfortable bedding.

The level of support you provided far exceeded our expectations. Your generosity also means that we have a small balance ready to begin the process again in 2018 to meet the yet to be decided challenge. Our continuing aim will be to provide additional facilities/equipment to support those who will unfortunately need to face and, hopefully, conquer cancer.
Again, thank you and we look forward to your ongoing support in 2018 and beyond.
