*A beautiful book - What Cancer Taught Me
-that aims to give hope and inspiration to people newly diagnosed with cancer through the inspiring stories of everyday people who have walked the path before them.
*Celebration Rose Garden
which is beautiful tribute rose garden that offers a special place of reflection to commemorate and celebrate those touched by cancer
*Annual significant donation to our local Albury Wodonga Medical Oncology Research Centre
*We are proudly a major sponsor of the Albury Wodonga Cancer Foundation Financial Assistance Program
that provides financial assistance to residents of our region who face financial hardship whilst undergoing cancer treatments
We have always been thrilled to be able to work closely alongside the Albury Wodonga Cancer Foundation, as our missions run parallel with each other. Hence the Financial Assistance Program definitely reflects our mandate and fits closely with our aims of supporting our regional population who have been touched by a cancer diagnosis.
THANK YOU TO BRAVE HEARTS!

PETER AND KATE TOBIN
Peter and Kate Tobin
are a very generous couple that provide much needed funds to the AWCF. Peter administers the Financial Assistance Program and extends funds of higher value than what the Foundation would normally do in extenuating circumstances as a result of his donations. Peter's contribution both in treasurer and sponsor is very much appreciated by the Foundation.
