How enjoyable it is - and what a great privilege! Another successful Road Show, this time in Mildura. President Mel Tucker of Mildura-Deakin Rotary welcomed the visiting ROMP Team and looked forward to sharing in our “ROMP Road Show” and the great fellowship that always flows when Rotary Clubs get together.

At the breakfast club meeting on 21st February, our 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 message? Simply, it is not fair to all concerned that regional and remotely located Australians who are dealing with myeloma and most other cancer types, will - in general - not live as long as their metropolitan counterparts.
ROMP makes a meaningful difference by providing scholarships in cancer nursing for nurses working in regional cancer treatment centres. Successful applicants upskill in cancer treatment and enhance their professional skills in dealing with people living with myeloma and other cancers.
