The local charitable group Miners for Cancer donated $20,000 to the Northeast Cancer Centre's chemotherapy suites on Friday.
“The Northeast Cancer Centre delivers world class treatment with world-class health care practitioners, but the chemotherapy suite looks anything but world class,” said Hot 93.5FM morning show host G-Rant, who hosted the sixth annual Miners for Cancer Christmas Gala, where the donation was made.
“This $20,000 will go a long way in changing that, in hopes of providing a better experience for the thousands of patients who come from all over Northern Ontario to receive treatment.”
Since its inception, Miners for Cancer — a local charitable group made up solely of volunteers — has raised more than $1 million for cancer patient care, equipment and research at Sudbury’s Northeast Cancer Centre.
