Last Saturday and Sunday, the 16 to 17 May, we saw one of the most wonderful and iconic events in our wonderful city of Penrith—that is, the Relay for Life, which has been held in Penrith for the last 14 years. This year alone, the community of Penrith raised $253,217 for the Cancer Council. I do not think we could applaud enough the great work that the people of Penrith have done. I would like to talk about a few amazing teams that really did some wonderful work. The Manny Moo Moo team all dressed up in moo-cow onesies and cut laps of Howell Oval. The Manny Moo Moo team raised $27,162. Well done! I guess it pays to dress up in a moo-cow onesie. The inspiration behind the team is a young boy called Emmanuel, who, in January 2013 at the age of 11 months, was diagnosed with cancer. They are now celebrating Emmanuel as a survivor. There were some wonderful teams that had some wonderful results. In aid of this we are also hosting a Biggest Morning Tea which will be held at the St Marys Rugby League Club at 10.30 am on Friday. We invite everyone from the Penrith and St Marys communities to join us so that we can raise more funds for this wonderful charity and aid the battle to help stop cancer.
