SEQPHA November Breakfast at Jupiters

It was a great breakfast at Jupiter’s and a big thank you to Sheila who hosted the morning and kindly filled in for Libby who is on a Managers conference.  Thanks also goes to Mark Glancy from D-Tec for giving an informative talk on bed bugs and to our guests, Sandy Sneddon and her husband Ian who take the Leukaemia patients and parents out every Wednesday night in Brisbane for dinner, they do such a wonderful job, it is an escape from the Hospital walls, and they get to meet other families in the same situation.  Sandy thanked SEQPHA for the support – SeaWorld tickets, Currumbin are putting on a night for the families, Versace have given a complimentary High Tea for a patient to use and Dreamworld offered a family to have the Breast Cancer breakfast last month and to stay in the park for the day.
