An annual fundraiser for Huntington’s disease was held on Monday 27 May at Selandra Rise Retirement Village in Clyde North.
The event was conducted by Selandra resident Maurice Browne with the help of his friends. Maurice lost his wife and son to the fatal sickness.
Maurice has been organising fundraising for the Huntington community for decades.
A whole room of residents from the village came to support Maurice and the Huntington community on the day and about $3000 was raised after donations, auctions, and raffles.
Huntington’s Victoria chief executive officer Tammy Gardner participated in the day and addressed the public.
