Canrevive

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley) (20:01):

:00 I inform the House about CanRevive and thank them for recently hosting its twenty-fourth anniversary fundraising dinner. CanRevive is a compassionate organisation with the aim of helping minimise the impact of cancer on patients and their families by providing information and support to people of Chinese-speaking backgrounds. In 2008 a branch centre was set up in Hurstville, a centre that I together with a number of New South Wales Government health Ministers have visited in support.

Its vision is that no-one should face cancer alone. It seeks to provide relief in some form to patients and their loved ones. It does this with home and hospital visits, telephone support, support group meetings, outings and information sessions. Volunteers are the backbone of CanRevive's work, meaning it must also fundraise to continue its incredible and highly appreciated work. Its recent twenty-fourth anniversary fundraising dinner was hugely successful. I thank all those in attendance for supporting such an invaluable organisation. On behalf of my electorate I thank CanRevive for its work.
