Today we talk to Rob about camp quality and his Christian journey. St Nicholas will be host to a charity luncheon on Saturday 7th October, but what is it all about…
Camp Quality is Australia’s most trusted children’s charity. Our purpose is to create the best quality of life for every child in Australia who is living with cancer
We provide essential support services to kids with cancer aged 0-13 years of age and their families. Our services also support children who have a parent or sibling with cancer
We’re there through every stage of the cancer journey from diagnosis, treatment, remission as well as the heart-breaking case of bereavement. We help at school, at home, in hospital and out in the community.
Our unshakeable passion for positivity forms the foundation of everything that we do. We believe in the power of positive psychology to build optimism and resilience.
We believe “Laughter IS the best medicine” My role in Camp Quality has spanned 15 years and this year was inducted onto the wall of fame for services to this great Charity.
I am a Companion to the children, Camp Leader, member of the Bunbury Regional CQ team, member of the fundraising team and also a Car owner and member of Wecarpade.
The luncheon to be held at the church in October is to assist in raising funds for CQ Wescarpade, Car 25 “Santas Workshop”, being my car.
Each entrant is encouraged to raise a minimum of $5000. all the monies raised goes to the charity and “It’s ALL for the kids”
We all have to pay a meal fee to cover food and entertainment. We pay for our own accommodation, fuel (always looking for support) and vehicle expenses.
