Priceless love

By MEGAN OGLE

THE community has rallied to support a mother battling brain cancer with multiple fundraisers and more than $20,000 in donations raised in two months.
Roz Harper is the loving mother of three daughters, Chloe, Megan and Molly, and the doting wife of Jon Harper and for seven years the family has been supporting Roz to beat brain cancer.
But it hasn’t come cheap.
The Noosa community has given its time, money and services to help the family, including a recent lunch held at Sirocco Noosa which raised more than $1700.
More than 50 locals joined Roz and her family as they enjoyed a three-course meal and silent auction with all monies raised going towards the Harper family’s medical and transport costs.
Ms Harper’s daughter, Chloe, has set up a Go Fund Me page to raise funds to pay medical bills and transport costs for the many visits to the Royal Brisbane Women’s Hospital.
By Tuesday 7 June more than $22,088 had been raised with 163 people contributing to the Harper family.
Anyone who would like to help the Harper family can donate to their campaign by heading to www.gofundme.com/bqxbte84.
