Nelune Fund
The Nelune Fund was created with monies raised by the incredible efforts of Nelune Rajapakse. The funds are used to assist needy patients with cancer to purchase or rent equipment or aides which would improve their outcome or quality of life. The Nelune Fund has also paid for our psychologists, neuro-oncology nurse as well as part of our breast care nurse. Contact: 8382 3377.
