I’ve chosen to raise much needed funds for Sydney Children's Hospitals Foundation

West Pennant Hills-Cherrybrook Lions Club has donated  to the Westmead's Children’s Cancer Research Unit (CCRU) to enable the purchase of much needed equipment for over 10 years  with over   $100,000 raised .

The Children’s Hospital at Westmead cares for several hundred young cancer patients every year. Of these, more than half are enrolled in clinical trials that provide access to drugs that have been shown to work. This gives young children and their families’ new hope using the latest treatments.

The West Pennant Hills-Cherrybrook Lions Club is a major donor to the CCRU, a position it has held for many years now. The Lions Club’s annual Charity fundraiser assists the unit’s equipment needs as well as support the dedicated team of researchers continuing their wonderful work. Due to COVID 19 in 2020 our usual street fund raising activity for the CCRU has ceased so we have created this funding raising page to raise much needed funds for medical equipment as outlined below. 

A contribution of $27,000 will generously support purchase of the Gravitational Brain Transducer ($15,000), pilot scans of 10 patients ($7000) and comparative MRE analysis of laboratory mini-brain models ($5,000).
