Dr MARJORIE O'NEILL (Coogee) — So many people across our community and the world are affected by cancer, which it is why I today would like to take this opportunity to thank a member of our Eastern Suburbs community, Siobhan O'Toole, for her efforts in fundraising for the St Vincent's Hospital Cancer Exercise Prehab program. Siobhan is a cancer survivor who is now dedicating her efforts to helping cancer patients use exercise to endure and recover from their chemotherapy treatment and reduce the chance of a recurrence of the disease through increasing access to the same exercise program that helped her get through her treatments! Siobhan has already raised more than $60,000 for a Cancer Exercise Prehab program, which could see up to 200 Patients a year get access to free exercise programs. Siobhan was recently nominated as a Westfield Local Heroes finalist for Bondi Junction, and I was like to officially extend my congratulations and my thanks to Siobhan for all of the work that she does.
