One in three is not to be sneezed at, young man! Its a better statistic than some families can manage, especially the ones where cancer has made off with some of 'em already. Our Nellie RFL is this weekend too, and I can't be here so I'm taking loads of food down to the troops before I leave town, and leaving my memorial bags with our team to put candles in for me.

As for NPCS, they're hosting the Herceptin Riders for a welcome/media party next week, so they already know about the petition, but I will remind Kelly in case its all got lost among the typical organisational melee that surrounds events of this kind.

Cheers.

Thanks for pm,should have known you'd have that organised,but easy to miss with all the promo your doing.

As you say lets get this part in front of the govt agencies,then us fellas can sort something out for prostate and for both sexes colon,lung.Shit I know of a couple of people having treatment in Melbourne,how crappy is that,our system is soo flawed.

ROCK ON LADIES,hope to catch up with you,either if you make NP relay,or Wellie.

For what its worth, I can provide a lot in the way of resources and information I've already pulled together to anyone who wants to take on something like this, and I'll come on board to help them if I can. Organising the HR is a lot of fun, and its helped along by a strong personal conviction (essential!) and an enormous amount of nationwide goodwill. But its also taking a lot of stamina, as there's a lot of frustration to cope with behind the scenes with negotiating, organising, co-ordinating etc, in trying to make it all come together the way it really needs to. People outside of the frame often don't see or appreciate that, which can make it all the harder when you need some co-operation or answers from them.

But its do-able, obviously, so don't think it aint! If you want to fight for something, just get on with it, stay focussed, and don't suffer fools. You'll be surprised by how much help you'll get, and the level of goodwill will more than make up for the odd shyte-slinging tosser who tries to tell you you're wasting your time or "doing it wrooooong".
