Ringwood Prostate Cancer Support Group secretary Peter Stanley has been awarded and recognised for his contribution to the community by raising awareness of Australia’s most commonly diagnosed cancer.
On Monday 1 September, Mr Stanley received an award at the Ringwood Electorate Victoria Day Awards Ceremony, hosted by MPs Nick McGowan and Nicole Werner.
Mr Stanley was noted as a “driving force” for the Support Group, both as secretary and as an advocate for the cause.
Support Group president Andrew Blackwell nominated Mr Stanley for the honour, stating that he has “tirelessly represented” the group on many occasions, including at community events and delivering presentations.
“Thanks to his dedication, the Support Group has grown into one of the leading groups of its kind in the country,” he said in the citation.
“Peter is not only a brilliant secretary but also an outstanding advocate, whose efforts have made a lasting difference to many lives.”
