LOCAL dad Jason Ingram needs the support of the Tweed community to get through one of the most challenging times a family can face.<\/p>\n
The Ingram family is hosting a fundraising event at the Condong Bowling Club on Sunday, September 8 to help with the ongoing costs of care and treatment for Jason’s stage four cancer condition.<\/p>\n
The former full-time parcel deliverer in Murwillumbah worked locally for years until just six months ago.<\/p>\n
In the past few years, the father of a young son has undergone several surgeries and intensive chemotherapy, and further bowel and liver surgery is imminent.<\/p>\n
Adding insult to injury is the family’s tenuous living situation \u2013 they are overwhelmed with medical and travel costs and are also facing loss of income.<\/p>\n
The Ingrams are trying to find accommodation to ensure security and stability as Jason battles the disease and manages the difficult treatment.<\/p>\n
The community and many local businesses have stepped up for the Ingrams, and the day of family fun promises to be a great day out.<\/p>\n
The afternoon promises a raft of family fun including live music, lawn bowls, a sausage sizzle, a cake stall, raffles and children’s activities.<\/p>\n
Funds raised will support Jason’s recovery from surgery and his ongoing care.<\/p>\n
The fundraiser will start at 1pm.<\/p>\n
