Thiess Murray Fox Golf Day 2008The Gallipoli Research Foundation recently received a donation of more than $42,000 raised by construction industry associates as part of an annual golf day held at Brookwater on 15 May.
The Murray Fox Golf Day is a charity event introduced by Thiess Queensland in a bid to raise much needed funds for skin cancer research while at the same time commemorating the life of former General Manager Murray Fox who lost his battle with melanoma cancer.
In the latter stages of his disease, Murray participated in the immune therapy research being conducted by Associate Professor Andrew Nicol in the Gallipoli Research Centre. Murray maintained a firm belief that the work being carried out by Associate Professor Nicol held promise for those suffering from melanoma.
“Making a difference in the lives of Queenslander's is something we value as an organisation,” says David McAdam, General Manager of Thiess Queensland .
More than 120 Thiess clients teed off in support of this year's event. This is the second year that the Gallipoli Research Foundation has received the funds from the Murray Fox Golf Day.
