A wonderful gift for the Foundation

Donations to the Clifford Craig Foundation come in all different shapes and sizes.

Every Monday for the past seven months an envelope containing $50 cash has been dropped at the Launceston General Hospital front reception and then delivered to the Clifford Craig office on level 5.

We don’t know who it’s from, but written on the envelope is: For L. Giles, for the MND.

Dr Lauren Giles is a neurologist at the Launceston General Hospital.

With $58,870 funding from the Clifford Craig Foundation she’s leading the first international multi-centre Motor Neurone Disease therapeutic trial to be offered locally in Tasmania, exploring potential treatment options and ways to slow down the progression of this debilitating disease.

We wouldn’t be able to support ground-breaking projects like this without the support of our local community - so thankyou anonymous donor!
