THE Independent Pharmacies of Australia Group (IPA) has pledged to raise $200,000 in support of My Room Children's Cancer Charity.
My Room is dedicated to assisting children with cancer and their families by funding critical medical equipment, clinical care, research, and trials.
IPA, which represents 1,100 independent pharmacies nationwide, stated the initiative will help deliver healthcare that benefits the community while addressing vital needs beyond pharmacy services.
The organisation's founders, who are independent pharmacy owners themselves, emphasised their deep connection to local communities where they live and work.
Steven Kastrinakis (pictured), pharmacist and Managing Director of IPA, expressed the importance of supporting My Room as he launched the drive on Channel 9 last night.
"Supporting My Room as a national charity is incredibly important to us because we understand the profound impact this charity has on children and their families," Kastrinakis said.
"We are proud our network can contribute $200,000 to provide relief, hope, and support where it's needed most.'' JG
