JEN Windebank will be hosting a private Cuppa for Cancer event on Friday 8th September in Craignish. 

She wanted to do something in the fight of cancer after having many family members fight this dreaded illness.

After losing close family members to cancer over the years including her brother also being diagnosed with terminal cancer, the illness also touched closer to home. 

Her husband Ken Windebank, an ex Vietnam veteran, was diagnosed with cancer years ago but luckily is now full recovered and this event is her chance to help raise funds for the Cancer Council.

“I wanted to do something myself to try and help people”, says Jen.

“I wanted to try out something different and hold a cuppa for cancer in a beautiful garden setting”.

On a spacious property opposite the Fraser Lakes Golf Club, the garden has unique art of dinosaur structures and a decking with a picturesque view that provide a wonderful background for the morning tea.

The Cancer Council Queensland states 32,000 Queenslanders are diagnosed with cancer each year, yet less than 20% of the people affected get the help needed.

One in two Queenslanders will develop cancer before the age of 85, on average one Queenslander will be diagnosed with cancer every 20 minutes.

The statistics are very confronting yet an early diagnose has a significant impact on a positive outcome.

Jen Windebank would like to make a difference and invites people to share “a cuppa on the deck”.

Tickets are $10 per person and limited to 30 people from 9am until 11am with a trading table and a raffle being sold. For further details, call Jen on 0427 621 713.
