Maitland Supports Beanies for Brain Cancer

Ms JENNY AITCHISON (Maitland—Minister for Regional Transport and Roads)—Congratulations Maitland for once again supporting the Mark Hughes Foundation's Beanies for Brain Cancer Campaign. Each year as the weather cools, the people of Maitland generously showcase their warm hearts by donating to the Foundation and buying a beanie. The Maitland Junior Football club held their annual beanies for brain cancer round last weekend, raising over $25,000 through sponsorship, beanie sales and donations. This is a cause close to the club's heart. Each year they raise vital funds to support the Foundation's brain cancer care coordinators support services and medical research. Congratulations to Evelyn Stonham, Jennifer Beale, Vince Cooper and Holly Moore and all the hard-working committee for all their efforts. Local business Lovey's IGA at Gillieston Heights also held a launch at the beginning of the month and once again welcomed Mark himself to thank the staff and customers. Beanies are on sale across Maitland at IGAs in Gillieston Heights, East Maitland and Telarah, and Lowes at Green Hills and Maitland. Thank you, Maitland, for helping to tackle brain cancer.
