ALTC
raise cash for cystic fibrosis research
By
Lt Sue Robinson
MEMBERS of Tpt Wing ALTC have driven themselves hard in a number
of determined efforts to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis research.
During
a two-day period recently, the truckies raised more than $1000 to
help fight the deadly condition.
Members
of LWDC also chipped in to chow down at one of two Bangers and Cash
BBQ fundraisers.
A trivia
night and a raffle were also organised by the enterprising truckies.
The
fundraising was inspired by the plight of the daughter of two Puckapunyal
soldiers.
Seven-year
old Kathryn Davison, the daughter of Cpl Kevin Davison and Pte Penny
Davison, has the life-threatening condition.
Cystic
Fibrosis is an inherited genetic disorder that predominantly affects
the lungs and digestive systems.
It
is the most common life-threatening condition in Australia, with
only 50 per cent of people with the condition surviving beyond 30
years of age.
