We all know someone who has suffered from cancer. For me personally, late last year we lost a family member from bowel cancer. I don’t need to explain how traumatising it is.
Lifehouse at RPA, the Chris O’Brien Cancer Centre a $300 million new facility will commence capital works this year. In the meantime, “A Night on the Green” a gala fundraising dinner (www.nightonthegreen.com) on June 5th will raise funds for the completion of the centre.
I have donated this painting of the late Professor Chris O’Brien. He was such a remarkable man, there is a great story on him here. Anyway, back to the painting, it is pretty huge – six foot in height actually.
It is going to auction on the night of June 5th, with 100% of the proceeds to Lifehouse, the Chris O’Brien Cancer Centre. I am hoping that whoever purchases it will donate it back to the centre to hang on the wall, but we shall see..
