different and raise some money for a charity. I asked family and friends not to buy me a present but to make a donation to The Cancer Council Queensland – they loved the idea and it felt great to give to such a worthwhile cause.”

Cancer is a horrible disease but to know there are organisations like The Cancer Council who can support cancer patients and their families is just wonderful.”
Alisa and Bernie, Brisbane
