Help Ryan O'Keefe & the Sydney Swans Defeat Childhood Cancer
Swans v West Coast Eagles May 16th
In 2008 twin brothers Andrew and Alex Jalloh were part of a group that represented OCF and formed a guard of honour for the Sydney Swans. Andrew was undergoing treatment at The Children's Hospital at Westmead at the time. Sadly, Andrew lost his battle with childhood cancer and passed away in October last year. Ten Year 8 boys from St Ignatius' College, Riverview volunteered to distribute Goal 4 A Goal leaflets at the Sydney Swans vs West Coast game on the 16th May.
Therese Sillars, parent at St Ignatius' College said: "The boys are volunteering to raise awareness of children affected by cancer and the work of the OCF in funding essential research programs.
"This is an illness that has affected all the boys in Year 8 at Riverview through the death in October 2008 of Andrew Jalloh, a fellow student, brother and fond friend. Andrew was 13 and had fought bravely against cancer for many years."
Andrew's twin brother, Alex and nine friends volunteered their time as part of their Ignatian Service program.
