In Memory....
| Silvana Cappetta | Silvana was the inspiration for Raise The
Gong. Silvana was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005, and
her daughter, Chelsea and some of her closest friends - who
also had lost a parent to cancer - decided to start their
own charity. Raise The Gong was established in 2006 as a
health promotion charity committed to improving the health
and well-being of local women, particularly those suffering
from cancer. Silvana went into remission but was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer in 2009, and fought a tough battle for two years, passing away on Mothers Day 2011 with her family and beloved friends around her. Silvana was an inspiration to all who met her - brave, strong, loving and with a wonderful sense of humour which she held until the last hours of her life. She is a great loss to the world, and will be missed. Click here to view Silvana's Memorial. |
