Footy Colours Day - Fight Cancer Foundation

News Sep 28 2023 Devyani Shirke

Each year, just under 150,000 new cases of cancer are diagnosed in Australia – and almost 1,000 of them are in children and young people under the age of 18.

Footy Colours Day raises money for the Fight Cancer Foundation to help fund patient accommodation for more than 1,000 families each year, as well as cancer research into better treatments and outcomes for people of all ages.

We at MiCare Kilsyth office, held a lunch and brought a plate to share. Each staff wore their favourite team’s colours and we all spent a lovely afternoon discussing our teams and the memories we have of Footy.

Social Support Group

I attend the MiCare Social Support Group to connect with people, share a nice meal, and enjoy the company—I would truly miss it if I couldn’t attend. I look forward to the bus outings, as they give me the chance to socialise with others. The MiCare Social Support Group makes a big difference in my life. It gives me a reason to get up in the morning, stay active, and most importantly, have wonderful conversations with everyone. I chose MiCare after carefully considering different providers, and I’m very happy with my decision. My Home Care Package case manager at MiCare is always helpful and keeps in regular touch with me, which I really appreciate. I also enjoy living at MiCare Village in Carrum Downs, with the convenience of having the doctor and shops right next door.
