Unsung Local Hero - 2770 Watch Without Childish Admin

One great thing about Social Media brings out the Champions of our area, the people that volunteer time, days to months to years. Here is a 'Special' Unsung hero raised from the Face Book Group 2770 Watch without Childish Admin - This group has the most membership over 26,000 members. I really applaud the admin this local interesting topic, raising awareness of something that places smiles on our faces.

Here it is and it's comments:

Susanna Learmonth Godwin My grandmother was there doing it for about 30years for cancer research... my grandfather (her husband) died of prostate cancer... there is another lady there now who's started with her about 10yrs ago, she's still there but my grandmother is too frail to continue and stopped doing it about 5 or so years ago

John Svoboda Joanne Green We have a great volunteer here - I also remember there was an elderly man raising money in Dawson Mall mount Druitt for the Mount Druitt Hospital - and I remember reading an article in our former local papers of his volunteer retirement. These are the people that have the Mount Druitt Golden Heart.....Next year she should be nominated as a Westfield Local Hero....
