The Moggill Markets Aidan Needham Appeal

Remember our Pirate Chef? This talented chef and his South African cuisine, is seriously ill. Aidan has a brain tumour, and although he has had surgery and chemotherapy, the treatment has not been totally successful. He has now embarked on further treatment which is going to cost a great deal of money, about $36,000.00.
Aidan is a valued member of our market and we want to help him, so we are launching a major raffle for him with over $2000.00 worth of prizes.

We have had some wonderful prizes donated and sponsored, so please when you are at the market buy your raffle tickets.

OR head over to the Pirate Chef website and buy your raffle ticket on line.
