Margaret Zita, CEO of My Room, joined us to speak about the amazing work of the organisation.
My Room was started 28 years ago with three founding members with children in hospital cancer wards.
The organisation has grown and grown and has raised in excess of $28 m used for supporting families, medication, accommodation expenses and medical equipment.
Also significantly the donations have been used to funds social workers, physiotherapists and dietitians and also clinical trials of emerging medication.
Margaret mentioned the great support provided to My Room by ambassadors who have helped with fund raising and support for the children.
As a follow up, Margaret has provided the My Room Prospectus for those that may be interested in learning more about My Room. The link for the prospectus is: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jux8klsq3xtn0nb/MY%20ROOM%202020%20PROSPECTUS.pdf?dl=0
Margaret has also provided the link to Oscar's story from our the My Room Telethon a couple of weeks ago and another story from one of the other father’s, Maurice, that was not on the Telethon, but equally as important after he lost his son Adam to this hideous disease.
