IMAGINE A LIFE WITHOUT ILLNESS

A photo story exhibition .....Women with Cancer. Photographed by Edward Cross

This week I attended the Newcastle Business Club lunch.  Edward Cross or Eddie as his friends refer to him spoke briefly about the upcoming charity event that he has organised to help raise funds for the Hunter Medical Research Institute.



Eddie has been an accomplished local photographer in Newcastle for many years.  About 5 years ago he was involved in an accident and suffered a brain injury.  He lost his home and nearly his business while trying to recover.  Eddie's friends and colleagues rallied the community to help him out and he with a lot of hard work on his part and help from his friends and community recovered.  As a result of his experience he is now committed to helping others.  His story is truly inspirational and his message is simple, don't take anything for granted and live a full life.

This exhibition focus's on the stories of 10 women who were diagnosed with Cancer and their journey's.  The exhibition will be opened by Jodi McKay MP on Friday May 7th 2010 at 6.15pm and will run until June 1st 2010 at the King & Parry Gallery, 154 Parry Street Newcastle. Entry is free but there is a wishing well set up to take any donation you can make.

Wayne W Lennan Financial Services is proud to sponsor such a moving and potentially life changing event.  I would urge all of you to try and find some time to attend and to give what you can!
