Sean and Robyn acquired over $700 in vouchers donated by local businesses throughout Tilligerry to be auctioned off on the day and helped raise over $2000 for a worthy cause. “It can be a difficult and emotional time for families dealing with illness and it’s even more challenging when you live thousands of kilometres away from the treatment you need,” exclaimed Sean, a retired ambulance paramedic. “This is a topic close to our hearts and hopefully some of the money raised can help a family in need in a small way,” he added.
