Paul Haines, a much-loved member of the Aussie sf community is going
through a tough time. After being diagnosed with bowel cancer, having
sections of his bowel removed and enduring six months worth of
chemotherapy, he has recently discovered he has spots on his liver.
Paul has met this news by reloading his guns and is going to fight it
with two other forms of chemotherapy for cancers like his, combined
with a monoclonal antibody called Avastin. Avastin, however is not
part of Medicare or the private health system's funding at this
stage. It costs $20,000 to do it. Money that he doesn't have.
Ticonderoga Publications has not set a limit on its donation, and
hopes to raise in excess of $1000.
