Illawarra Mercury editor Kathy Sharpe talks about the paper's sponsorship match this Thursday, December 11, between the Illawarra Hawks and Brisbane Bullets raising money for the Yerbury Lab at the University of Wollongong.
Transcript
00:00Illawarra Mercury is celebrating its 170th year of publication this year, which is very
00:04exciting for us, a significant year where we wanted to cement our partnership with the
00:10Illawarra Hawks and with the University of Wollongong.
00:13We're also looking for a charity partner for this year, and we couldn't think of anything
00:17better than the Yerbrey Lab at the University of Wollongong.
00:21The story of a former hawk, Justin Yerbrey, is a truly Wollongong story.
00:26There's legacies living on with the work being done over there by scientists, but research
00:31costs money.
00:32So on Thursday night at the game, we'll be appealing to Hawks fans to put their hand in their pocket
00:37and make a donation, however big or small, to the Yerbrey Lab.
00:41And also beyond the stadium, also our readers and everyone in Wollongong, if you're looking
00:45for a gift at Christmas time to make that's really meaningful, it is really worth considering
00:51because the work going on there, even though it's quiet and it's in the background, it
00:55has the potential to change the lives of people suffering from MND all over the world.
