Murdoch Helps Lions Cancer Institute Put Smiles on Little Faces

In April, St John of God Murdoch sponsored an event for the Lions Cancer Institute, which meant seriously ill children enjoyed a wonderful day at the movies.

The Lions Cancer Institute took all the local special needs and some seriously ill children from all the Hospitals and Education Support Centres in Perth (Belmont Cinema), Bunbury, Geraldton, Kalgoorlie and surrounding suburbs in these towns to the Movies. For many, it was a first time experience to see a pre-released movie on the big screen. Each child received refreshments, show bags, bubbles, balloons, and a gift from the Easter Bunny making it very personal, memorable and therapeutic.

“The generous support from St John of God Health Care this year was a welcome gift to each child giving them self-worth, letting them shine and making a real difference tragically for some having a very short life,” The Lions Cancer Institute said.

The day was a huge success, unforgettable, and put a huge smile on their little faces. Amazing!
