Makino and Fielding Rotary Clubs - Fundraising to Support Professor Swee Tan

The Makino and Feilding Rotary Clubs are fundraising to support the work of Professor Swee Tan as he works towards his aim of finding a cure for cancer.

Professor Swee Tan works at the Gillies McIndoe Research Institute and specialises in the reconstructive surgery of people, afflicted by disfiguring strawberry birthmarks and sometimes life threatening conditions.

On Tuesday 12 February 2013 from 5.30pm (meeting starts 6pm) at the Rangitikei Club, Bowen St, Feilding, the  Makino Rotary Club are hosting a public invited meeting to hear the amazing story of a young 12 year old girl, Hana Olds, whose aim is to raise $30,000 towards the work of Professor Swee Tan and the Gillies McIndoe Research Institute.

To achieve this, Hana, from Wellington High School, has written an inspiring book entitled

‘If Persistence was a Person’ Her book is now in its third edition.

Hana has already donated $10,000 to the Gillies McIndoe Research Institute

Hana and her mother Bronwyn Olds will be in Feilding on Tuesday 12 February and will be spending time talking with Feilding High School students and meeting the Mayor before addressing the Rotary meeting in the evening.

Everyone is welcome to hear this amazing story from such a young inspirational girl as she confidently promotes her worthwhile cause.

Tickets for this meeting on Tuesday 12 February are $20 each (includes dinner) and are available from the Feilding Information Centre, 10 Manchester Square, Feilding or by phoning 06 323 3318 or email: info@feilding.co.nz.
