Lightning McQueen Car raises funds for the WISHH Charity
The family of much loved Catherine Harrison have created their very own Lightning McQueen car in her memory to raise funds to support Castle Hill Hospital.
Catherine’s daughter Aphrael said, “My mum was a truly spectacular woman and she loved watching the Cars film with my son. She taught him to say ‘McQueen’ whenever he saw the character come up on the TV; it was one of many special times they shared together. We lost our mum to cancer and have dedicated Lightning McQueen in memory of her, to raise funds for the WISHH Charity. The nurses at Castle Hill Hospital helped my mum in her fight against cancer and gave her more months than we expected.”
Catherine’s Husband Lance said, “I have spent my entire life around cars and have worked with a team to create our very own Lightning McQueen, a tribute to my incredible wife. We are taking McQueen with us to car shows across our area, to help raise funds for Castle Hill Hospital. We have our own Facebook page for people to find out where we are next, and request to rent McQueen for birthdays, weddings and other events. At these events we will be requesting donations for WISHH in exchange for photos with McQueen.”
Lisa Whitton of the WISHH Charity said, “Members of our community never cease to amaze us with the ingenuity of fundraising ideas to support our Charity. We cannot thank Aphrael and Lance enough for their support in making Lightning McQueen a reality to raise funds in Catherine’s memory to support Castle Hill Hospital. What a wonderful tribute to their mum, wife and Grandma who meant so much to them all.”
