Gold Bow Day – 1 September 2010
Gold Bow Day will raise awareness of recent thyroid cancer research stating that thyroid cancer in NSW has increased by 84% in women and 40% in men over the past 10 years.
Money raised from gold bow sales will go towards improving the environment of radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment rooms in public hospitals throughout Australia. Thyroid cancer patients are isolated in these treatment rooms for a 3-4 days, whilst undergoing radioactive iodine treatment. This treatment is given to thyroid cancer patients after surgery to remove their thyroid gland.
The ATF intends to make these treatment rooms more comfortable for patients during their stay. Annual Gold Bow Day sales will continue to support this fundraiser.
Buy a $5 or $3 Gold Bow to ensure The ATF can achieve our goal to help thyroid cancer Patients. RAI treatment rooms around Australia need to be improved to help thyroid cancer patients cope with their 4-day RAI treatment and being isolated during this time. The ATF will repaint, furnish and make sure the rooms are comfortable and have all the homely comforts needed to make patient's stay pleasant.
