Earlier
this year uniformed and civilian personnel at HMAS Albatross took
part in the annual Lieutenant Craig King Leukaemia Research Fundraiser.
A total of $7,900 was raised, which included a notable contribution
made by the Project Team based in Connecticut in the USA.
These funds were presented to the Leukaemia Foundation by the
Acting Commanding Officer, HMAS Albatross, Commander Steve Elms.
Mr Steve Dunn of the Leukaemia Foundation, Support Services Coordinator
for the Illawarra, accepted the cheque on behalf of the Foundation.
He expressed his thanks for the significant work done at HMAS
Albatross in fostering Craig’s wish to continue in the support
of individuals and their families who are affected by leukaemia,
through organisations such as the Leukaemia Foundation.
The money that HMAS Albatross has raised will be used to support
the Leukaemia Foundation within the Illawarra and Shoalhaven regions.
The Leukaemia Foundation can be contacted on Freecall 1800 620
