MEDIA: No Stomach for Cancer
Last weekend, on the 18th of November, was the annual Team Australia walk for No Stomach for Cancer, a charity raising money and awareness for the approximately 2,000 people who are diagnosed with stomach cancer in Australia every year.
The charity funds research projects that look in to stomach cancer with the hopes of finding a cure and making life easier for those who are diagnosed.
Hundreds of people participated in the Team Australia walk this year, including the Shaw family who walked in honour of Chris, their husband and father, who they lost to stomach cancer and complications in August this year, after a 14-month struggle.
Thanks to generous donors who sponsored the walkers, over $39,000 has been raised for No Stomach for Cancer, absolutely smashing the event goal.
