🌟 Meet Harper! 🌟

Harper is one of our amazing Learn to Swim swimmers, and she is about to do something incredibly brave and inspiring.

Harper will be shaving her hair to support the Brighter Days, Brighter Lives campaign by the Townsville Hospital Foundation, helping regional cancer patients access the treatment they need closer to home.

At the moment, many North Queensland patients are required to relocate to Brisbane for donor stem cell transplant treatment. With community support, a donor transplant service can be established right here in Townsville, allowing families to stay together and receive care closer to home.

💙 100% of donations stay local and directly support people in North Queensland.

We are so proud of Harper for making such a selfless contribution to this important cause. Please join us in cheering her on and supporting this incredible fundraiser.
