Earlier this year, Aidan Really delivered $22000 worth of fuel vouchers and gift cards to the Grafton Base Hospital (GBH) Oncology Unit to be distributed amongst cancer patients to help ease the financial pressures they often encounter due to frequent travelling to undergo treatment.

And he promised he would be back with more.

In the lead up to Christmas, Aidan is encouraging Clarence Valley residents to give generously and support his upcoming Team Aidan Big Markets and Auction on December 17, with all proceeds raised going towards the purchase of further fuel vouchers.

Featuring more than 20 market stalls, a breakfast barbeque, face painting, coffee van, performances by the talented dancers from Studio One Dance Academy, raffles, and a fabulous collection of items including a beautiful cubby house, a weekend holiday at the Big River Ski Lodge, and vouchers donated by local businesses will be auctioned by Mitch Donovan from 11am.

“I want to raise as much money as I can to help more people,” said Aidan, who is looking forward to welcoming a big crowd on the weekend.

“All the money raised stays local, and it goes towards helping people who need it.”

The Team Aidan Big Markets and Auction will be held at the Jacaranda Hotel car park at 154 Pound Street, Grafton, from 7:30am.

Loving Life FM103.1 will be broadcasting live from the location throughout the morning.

The lucky winners of a monster raffle will also be drawn during the event.

• Anyone with items they wish to donate for the auction are invited to contact Team Aidan on 0400 296 269.
