2010 Volunteer of the Year
Congratulations to Mrs Moya Hughes the 2011 Fight Cancer Foundation Volunteer of the Year.
Moya Hughes
The Fight Cancer Foundation congratulates its 2011 Volunteer of the Year – Mrs Moya Hughes, Manager of the Fight Cancer Foundation Drysdale Recycle Shop.
Moya has managed the shop for 14 years and has developed a great rapport with customers and other volunteers. She moved to Drysdale from Bendigo more than 16 years ago and shortly after lost her beloved husband, Harry, to cancer.
“Once you’ve lost someone through cancer, you feel you want to give something back,” said Moya. “I’ve found friendship and comfort with the wonderful women who volunteer for the Foundation and I love chatting with customers. When you meet people whose troubles are worse than your own, it grounds you. It is very gratifying to know how the help you give others through your work is appreciated. I think I’m pretty lucky and enjoy what I do.”
The Foundation appreciates Moya’s dedication and valuable contribution.
