Lucinda & Scot Kenney's
Can & Bottle Fundraiser
Around the 24th of AprilWe are encouraging people in SA to please save their bottles and cans to be collected and recycled. All monies made will go to Lucinda, Scott and the girls to help towards making their battle with Lucinda's cancer even slightly easier! Lucinda has metastic cancer on her hip, liver, biliary system and a couple of small spots on her spine...she has just turned 30 and is wife to Scott and mum to Makayla 4 (nearly 5!) and Charlotte 2 1/2. Every cent we raise for them will help make anything they choose to do with the money - whether it be a holiday, child care, drug trials for chemo, day to day living, a break with friends etc easier during their fight.
We will be arranging a pick up around the 24th of April and if you are keen to be involved in this part of the event we would love to hear from you as well. As Luci always says the more the merrier! Anyone who wishes to be involved can
Email their contact details to Rachael Zaltronrzaltron@optusnet.com.au
If you are not in the metropolitan area as a lot of Luci's team aren't and want to be involved please contact us and maybe we can organise a group pick up in your area?
