At the breakfast club meeting on 21st February, members of the team (Peter Allen, Don Jago, Trish and Jim O’Hara) shared the ROMP message with the local Rotarians and later with the wider Mildura-Loddon Community through formal interviews with the Sunraysia Daily Newspaper and regional ABC. The ABC interview can be accessed via the link below:
 
The ROMP vision is for regional and remotely located Australians who are dealing with myeloma and most other cancer types, to benefit from support and treatment and ultimately narrow the quality of life and survival gap between the regional and their metropolitan counterparts.
 
ROMP makes a meaningful difference by providing fully funded Graduate Certificate in Cancer Nursing scholarships at Melbourne University to nurses working in regional cancer treatment centres. Successful applicants through this course, upskill in cancer treatment and enhance their professional skills in dealing with people living with myeloma and other cancers.
