Building and furnishing a family home in three weeks sounds impossible… But volunteers are well on their way to achieving that at the ‘Build for a Cure’ site at Medowie.
NBN News got a sneak peek, as the final interior touches were put in place.
About: Build for a Cure
“More than 950 children are diagnosed with cancer each year in Australia, one in six children
dies as a result. Sadly, around 50 of these children diagnosed are from the Hunter.
This September, International Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, McCloy Group and
McDonald Jones Homes will join forces with the Children’s Cancer Institute to launch Build
For A Cure 2018, a major fundraising initiative in which a house will be built from the ground
up in just 21 days. This year, a homesite at The Bower Medowie has been donated by McCloy
Group and the home building trades and materials have been donated by McDonald Jones
Homes and the effort of over 100 tradies. Every aspect of the home will be donated meaning
that 100% of the money raised will be going towards lifesaving research for children with
cancer.”
