Long standing Northern Health Foundation supporter, Rino Minniti, is walking over 11km to fundraise for cancer services at Northern Health.

On Sunday 6 December, Rino will walk from Northern Hospital in Epping all the way to PANCH in Preston.

Cancer is a cause very dear to Rino who is walking in memory of his brothers who battled the disease. He is especially motivated to raise funds for cancer patients as Rino himself also fought cancer and has experienced firsthand its challenges. He is grateful for the exceptional care he received at Northern Health, as well as the care provided to his brother.

I was motivated to do this because I had cancer myself. Id like to give back and raise awareness of bowel cancer and try to raise money for people to have a better life, Rino said.
