The family of a courageous father who lost his battle with blood cancer have made a generous gift to the Leukaemia Foundation to honour his memory and help other families facing blood cancer.

Mammino Gourmet Ice Cream donated $5,000, while the Rotary Club of Stanthorpe donated $5,000 from its Opera in the Vineyards event at Ballandean Estate Wines earlier this year.

The Leukaemia Foundation supported Anthony Mammino and his family with accommodation and emotional support after his blood cancer diagnosis and then grief support after he died.

Many families honour the memories of loved ones with a Gift in Memoriam to the Leukaemia Foundation.

You can find out more about leaving a Gift in Memoriam by calling Emma Dwyer on (08) 8169 6054 or emailing giftinwill@leukaemia.org.au.
