On 31st July it was confirmed that Miss Peg had terminal cancer. True to her charitable nature, she wanted to make a final act of kindness to a community that, as she said, had been so kind to her.
As Peg always took pride in her long hair, she decided to put it to some use before it fell out. So, why not have it cut to make a wig for someone who may need one! In doing so, raise some funds to assist the local Parkes ‘CanAssist’ continue their good work supporting those on their journey with cancer.
Peg hoped to raise about $500, but the response was such that she has now raised in excess of $4,500. Contributions, big and small, were made from the local community, and from overseas.
She is overwhelmed by the enormous response to a simple request and says that it is indicative of the generosity of people, in particular, the local community, to support a worthy organisation, Parkes CanAssist.
Miss Peg, simply says, ‘’Thank you”.
The ‘Act of Kindness’ closes on 30th September. You can still make a contribution at https://www.mycause.com.au/p/351308/pegs-fundraiser-for-can-assist
