This February, by taking on our 100 Miles in a Month challenge, you will help us to raise vital funds for Cardiac Care at the Mater Public Hospital to continue to transform patient care and save even more lives.
These funds will allow us to provide life-saving equipment across the hospital, just like our state of the art PET/CT scanner. This scanner, funded by our supporters, enables our staff to quickly diagnose and treat patients with heart disease, cancer and brain disorders.
