PERSONNEL at RAAF Base Pearce recently dug deep to support the Leukaemia Foundation’s “World’s Largest Lunch” fund-raising promotion.

About 200 personnel raised $1009.65, or more than $50 each, while enjoying an Asian lunch in the airman’s mess.

Event co-ordinator Corporal Colin Hull declared the event a success.

“I am extremely pleased with the generous support of base personnel in raising such a large sum of money for such a worthy cause,” he said.

The money has now been forwarded to the foundation. All monies raised will help provide funding to patients living with leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma.

It will also be used for further research into the killer diseases.
