ACRF regular giver – Maria Falzon
By her own admission Maria Falzon did not need much convincing when approached by an Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF) fundraiser in Smith Street Collingwood in Melbourne, 8 years ago.
“My family has been touched first-hand by cancer so I was keen to help fund research into finding a cure for it,” she said recently.
“I lost my cousin Maryanne who passed when she was only 42 years old. Actually she was diagnosed with the disease and then went into remission only for it to emerge very quickly afterwards in a bad way.”
“I have many friends now who have also lost loved ones to cancer so I want to help find a cure.’’
On behalf of the brilliant cancer researchers we fund, the team at the Australian Cancer Research Foundation extends a big thank you to Maria for her generous monthly contributions to cancer research.
We hope to continue fighting against this horrible disease in memory of your cousin Maryanne, and in memory of the many Australians also sadly lost to cancer.
