Members
of HMAS Harman’s Welfare Committee took great pleasure in
presenting a $500 cheque to NSW Police Constable Josh Froggatt
as part of the efforts to raise much needed funds for medical
treatment of his six year old son, Sam.
Sam was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour and has since
undergone surgery to remove the tumour. He is having ongoing chemotherapy
and rehabilitation, with the medical costs of such an operation
and treatment extremely high.
To help Sam and his family, the NSW Police Service Social Club,
in conjunction with the Harman Junior Sailors Social Club, organised
a benefit night to help raise funds for Sam’s medical expenses.
The resident Police rock band, Full Boar, supplied the entertainment
for the evening that saw both Navy and Police members working
together to support a great cause. Funds raised came to more than
$6000 with donations still coming in.
