NAPE, the province’s largest union, kicked in $25,000, Trades NL $3,250 which comes on the heels of a $75,000 donation for a new chemotherapy unit for the Bliss Murphy Cancer Care Centre, and the provincial government $50,000. Health Minister Tom Osborne made the announcement on VOCM Open Line with Paddy Daly.
He says the people at Daffodil Place do so many good things as cancer touches the lives of many.
