Donation for 'Shirley Shuttle'

The Everglades Women's Bowling Club has donated $3000 from its annual charity day towards a second vehicle to transport cancer patients to chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment centres at Gosford..

The first vehicle "The Shirley Shuttle" was donated by Barb Galvin on March 4, in memory of her mother Shirley Galvin.

"Shirley One now operates three days a week manned by volunteer drivers, with a view to extending the service to five days per week when further drivers apply for free training to extend the service," Ms Galvin said.

"When the need for a second vehicle was identified, various local residents donated $8000 for that purpose, and on May 20, the Everglades Women's Bowling Club donated a further $3000 from their Annual Charity Day."

Ms Galvin said further donations were required to put Shirley Two on the road.
