The club and in particular, members Keith Ireland & Eric Anderson, can be very proud to achieve this for future generations suffering from cancer. It was all because of members personal efforts and the local businesses like Frenchville Sports Club who paid for ads to cover the cost of printing that allowed every cent raised to be donated to this cause.
