Well, this all happened earlier this week. We got contacted
by Mark Kent P. Senderson an email saying that he's
setting up a thing called Cars for Carina. It's at
Morrissett Showground August eleven, to raise money for a young
woman called Karina, who is twenty eight years old. She's
done so much for the community. We've spoken to her
colleagues that they've done so much volunteering for Westpac Rescue helicopters.
(00:27):
They raised forty thousand dollars for them over the years.
And now Karina has MS. She's got five children under
the age of ten, and the community would like to
do things for her. So many of you have been
fabulous in donating to her GoFundMe page for stem cell work.
