L.J. Hooker Sales & marketing consultant & Cessnock Goanna’s Five-eighth Kane Bradley has received a massive boost in his quest to raise money & awareness for the debilitating genetic condition Cystic Fibrosis from Bloomfield Mine & their miners union.

Bloomfield Colliery is a privately owned family company that has been mining coal in the east Maitland area for over 60 years since 1937. It has provided employment for local workers for many generations & is well respected in the business sector which also provides additional labour to the colliery.

Lodge President Gary Horn said the Bloomfield union became aware of the fund raising event through articles in the advertiser & thought it was a very worthy cause. Lodge Secretary & Lodge official Chris Jennings both agreed that community support was essential when an individual such as Kane attempts to achieve a personal goal of raising awareness & money donations to help fund research into this terrible childhood disease.

Kane has been donating $5 from every goal he kicks this year to Cystic Fibrosis & has numerous businesses & people matching his donation. The Bloomfield Miners union came up with a one off amount of $500 & the owners of the mine matched the $500 to take the total to $1,000. “I am extremely overwhelmed with the response from Bloomfield Mine & the miners union & cannot thank them enough”.

So far this year Kane has kicked 56 goals at $50 a goal for a total of $2,800, the $1,000 from Bloomfield Colliery as well hopefully some more goals in the remaining 2 rounds of the competition will go to achieving the goal Kane had at the start of the year of reaching $4,000.

Once again Kane would like to thank the following People for their support throughout the year. L.J. Hooker Cessnock, L.J. Hooker Financial Services, The Australia Hotel, The Oakley’s Milk Bar, Wine Country Wealth, Smyth Turner & Wall, Sams Mining Services, Howsafe OH & S, Rebecca Robertson, Denise & Gunther Schilko & Col & Pat Bradley. The generosity of these people should not go unnoticed within the community & their help is certainly appreciated by Kane & Cystic Fibrosis Australia.
