Shoppers come to the

aid of kids with cancer

By CLAIRE NORTON

THIRTEEN families of sick

children across the Fraser
Coast will receive hands-on
help and support thanks to a
$25,500 donation from Coles
shoppers in Maryborough
and Hervey Bay.
The money will go to the
charity Redkite, which aims
to help children with cancer.
Money donated by
shoppers will allow the
families to access Redkites
information, practical
support and counselling
from the moment of
diagnosis and during their
first three months in
hospital.

an in-store celebration with
Redkite to say thank you to
the shoppers on the Fraser
Coast for getting on board

Maryborough, Bauple and
Tiaro had been made a

priority.
The towers will deliver a
quantum leap in the speed
