Our Goal was 25 .... we got 60K 🥂🎉🏋🏼‍♂️

By December 2019 we had raised over 60K.

With thanks to the amazing community of bondi icebergs and friends and family we have managed to raise 60K which exceeds the $25K goal.

So what now.

The doctors are working on the protocol and ethics to get the exercise program set up.

The aim is for the program to be in front of St VIncent’s Ethics committee in April 2020.

Given the COVID-19 we are holding off.

We are working with Dr Sara Wahlroos Medical Oncologist, Dr Steven Faux Head of Rehab and Dr Patrick Arulanandam. supported by the wonderful work of the Curran Foundation Community fundraisers lead by Loretta.
