Meeting with On Track@ Peter Mac was great!

Although we couldn't manage to meet the director of PR in Peter Mac, neither the medical director, but apparently Kate (the social worker we are contacting through the week) is responsible for the social networking program at On Track@ Peter Mac. So basically she's the one we are looking for!!

We had a nice chat with her this afternoon. It's just like what Justine told us, they are very happy that we can arrange this kind of event for the young adult patients. Because On Track@ Peter Mac is a new subsidiary of Peter Mac, which just founded a few years ago, they don't have enough people to arrange these events regularly, so they are very looking forward to our project.


Because of the limited numbers of the social workers in the On Track at the moment, we may not be able to get them involved to assist our project, but Kate will be our contact to the cancer patients, because in regarding to the privacy issue, we won't be able to get the contact details of the cancer patient in Peter Mac cancer centre, but she will be able to help us send out all the invitation by post
and by email, which is great!

And importantly, The spending cost of the event may be able to covered by charge each participant for entry fee or charge them for beverage and food. According to Kate, the cancer patient in this aged group is really looking forward to have a day out as normal people does, and they are happy to pay for join this kind of event, as long as the price is reasonable.

Besides, we got a funding from On Track@ Peter Mac around $ 150! It's not a big amount of the money, but at least we have something in our hands now. :)


After today's face to face meeting with Kate, I'm so glad to hear her support, which is really a big motivation for me. I started to see our project is more tangible and visible, and feel motivated.


A few things now everyone of us will be doing this weekend is:

-Send out the proposal to the possible sponsors for catering.
-And approach to the venue and celebrity MC/Comedians.



It's really the time for us to move on, Guys!!! Can't wast any more time!!
