   - Kayaking for Kemo Kids Committee Member.

“I have known Bob Glenister since 1997 when he invited me to become the Patron for Kayaking for Kemo Kids.  As one of the long standing presenters for ABV TV’s Play School I am continually approached to support many good causes.  Upon meeting and discussing the offer with Bob and his daughter Rebecca, I could only accept the offer and assist Bob and his team help raise funds and awareness for childhood cancer research and support.

In the time I have know Bob I’ve found him to be extremely committed to everything he does, whether in his work life, raising money or simply being a friend.  Yes, I’m the Patron of Kayaking for Kemo Kids, however, Bob treats me as a friend, not as someone who is there to simply support the cause.

The challenges that face the main event are gruelling, but yield great rewards for all those touched by the fundraising campaigns.  I am delighted to continue to support Bob and his very dedicated team of volunteers and encourage all to assist in this wonderful cause.”

Jim Higgins (QAS Commissioner)
   - QLD Patron and KC4KK Vice Patron

“I am very proud to support Kayak & Cycle 4 Kemo Kids as vice-patron, raising funds with this worthwhile volunteer charitable organisation.

I am especially proud of our QAS Paramedics and staff involved in the appeal. The QAS is proud to be supporting the main event next March by supporting our QAS officers on the team and the supply of a QAS Ambulance to escort the team along the coast of NSW & QLD. This vehicle will provide essential safety support for all involved.

What makes this appeal unique is the teamwork of our QLD and NSW volunteer team members and supporters, raising funds and awareness for two of this countrys' major Children's Hospitals Oncology Units (QLD & NSW) and Camp Quality. A state of Origin with a difference!

I was overwhelmed by the recent generosity of those who donated to our KC4KK & QAS Ambulance Family Fund Day Expo and encourage our Emergency Services from both States to get behind Bob and the team as they build up to the major challenge in March and the Gala Charity Dinner night on 26th May 2007”.
