PURPLE PATCH:
Motorists travelling through Dadswells Bridge will notice a splash of colour after Max and Jenny Green jumped on the Paint The Town Purple campaign trail. The campaign, which started on Monday and runs until Friday, raises awareness of the annual Horsham and District Relay for Life event in March. Mr Green said although Paint The Town Purple was Horsham-based, he and his wife decided to become involved ‘because it hit home’. “I’ve just beaten cancer,” he said. Mrs Green said their journey had played a big role in their decision to raise money for the Cancer Council. “It’s made us think more about joining in and doing all these things. We’ll definitely be at Relay for Life next year,” she said. The Greens’ display features a woman on an exercise bike because ‘cancer never rests’. Sixteen businesses or organsiations are participating in Paint The Town Purple. The winner will be announced at a hall of fame event on Saturday night.
