The www.tradingmate.com.au business community are proud to support this absolutely fantastic organisation that does so much to assist those suffering and those that provide such dedicated care to people affected by cancer - and let's face it, almost every single on of us has been touched in some way by this terrible disease . . .


The Woodward family answered the call in 2006, when it was highlighted in an interview with the Cairns Post that the local oncology services were inadequate for the far northern region, that the distance required to be travelled to recieve the necessary services was causing additional pain & suffering - and that for some cancers, remote patients are up to 300% more likely to die within 5 years of diagnosis.


Michael and his family have achieved so much since this time - providing integrated cancer care to enhance the quality of life for their clients, families & friends. Co-ordinated care and support services, navigating the local health and social landscape and being a collaborative partner in community cancer initiatives.


To volunteer or donate, head to https://couch.org.au/ like and follow the adventures of Woody on Facebook @ https://www.facebook.com/CairnsCOUCH/ and for more information about assistance or support, call 07 4041 9474


We look forward to offering up our raffle cash next Wednesday for such a worthy cause and look forward to an absolutely awesome array of donated prizes up for grabs from our terrific Trading Mates :)
