Swampies donate for Lifehouse
The Swampies Golf Group of Everglades Country Club has presented a cheque for $500 to local vet Naomi Lessels.
Ms Lessels has registered for the Ride to Conquer Cancer in order to raise funds for the Chris O'Brien Lifehouse at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital.
The donation from the Swampies was mainly raised from raffles.
The purpose built "Lifehouse" facility will cater to all aspects of cancer diagnosis and management including counselling for patients and their families.
By participating in this ride, Naomi has committed herself to raise a minimum of $2500 with a personal goal of $3000 for the organisation.
She will also take part in a 200km bike ride over two days in October, camping near Camden overnight.
Last year this ride became the single biggest fundraising event in Australia's history generating $5.3 million.
This year the organisation is hoping to exceed that amount.
For more information on the Sydney Cancer Centre and the Chris O'Brien Lifehouse or to donate, Naomi can be contacted at nslessels@gmail.com.
