LOCAL SUPPORT GROUP RUNS CANCER INFORMATION COURSE

A local branch of Canhelp Australia Wide, a charitable non-profit organization, has been established in the Samford-Dayboro area as a result of the excellent attendance at the presentation by Darryl Jones at the Samford Bowls Club on November 10th 2007.

Darryl and wife Jan, founders of Canhelp Australia Wide were thrilled with the response from so many eager to learn from their years of experience in helping people overcome cancer and other health issues. 

The following morning a meeting was also well attended by people who were willing to establish a group in Samford to learn more about Darryl’s program in order to help others as “Cancer Buddies”.

The first stage in the learning process will be a weekend course on 22/23/24th February 2008 entitled “The Philosophy of Cancer”.  This weekend will be held at Armstrong Creek near Dayboro. (Please note this is not a live-in weekend).

In this course participants will learn about such things as – What is cancer?  What causes cancer? and How to support someone with cancer to help them achieve a positive outcome.

Sessions will be presented by Canhelp Trainers, including Darryl Jones.  Course numbers are limited and bookings are essential.  Please phone Ian Wills (07) 3289 9220 or 0428 188 101 for more information or to secure your position.  Bookings close Friday 15th February. 

Anyone wishing to know more about Darryl’s program can attend a free

DVD showing at Ian & Narelle Wills’ place.  Please ring Ian on 3289 9220 if you would like to see this.
