MCCR Financial Assistance Scheme launch
Members of the MCCR. The Monaro Committee for Cancer Research has great pleasure in announcing a 12-month pilot Financial Assistance Scheme for cancer patients on the Monaro. MCCR received a generous donation from the Chris Conway committee last year and with the lack of funding from ACT Eden Monaro for this region the committee thought it was time for a local assistance scheme to be implemented. The scheme will be administered by a separate committee within MCCR and referred to as the Financial Assistance Scheme. The scheme aims to provide practical financial support for individuals or families struggling with the challenges of a cancer
diagnosis and related treatment issues for the populations of Cooma-Monaro, Snowy River and Bombala Shires. Application forms will be available from local GP surgeries or Community Health. Assistance with queries relevant to an application will be available by email to the MCCR Financial Assistance Scheme at fas@mccr.org.au or a fax to 6452 1893. Either method will ensure privacy and a quick response. Applications must be signed off by your health professional or doctor. You can also go to the MCCR website for more information – www.mccr.org.au
Paddy Pallin honoured at Jindabyne Emergency services report National Parks were dear to the heart of pioneering adventurer Paddy Pallin, and on Wednesday a bust of the wellknown outdoorsman was installed outside the visitor centre in Jindabyne. National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) Acting Visitor Centre Manager Lenore Moberget said Paddy Pallin embodied the Australian love of National Parks, and it was an honour to have the bust installed at Jindabyne. “Frank Austin Pallin, better known as Paddy, encouraged the public to explore parks responsibly and enthusiastically, sentiments shared by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. “This bust of Paddy Pallin,
sculpted by the late artist John Dowie, was originally installed at Perisher Valley in the ski tube mezzanine, but the Pallin family asked it be relocated to a more
appropriate location where more visitors could enjoy it. “The bust had been in place for less than an hour and its setting wasn’t even dry when two visitors came and told NPWS staff that it was lovely to see Paddy Pallin’s monument shifted to a more prominent location. “Paddy’s work with conservation groups, the Scouts and huts in Kosciuszko National Park meant many were and still are inspired to enjoy the wilderness,” Ms Moberget said. The Pallin family say they are delighted the bust of Paddy is now more closely associated with the enjoyment of the outdoors.
