BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE Notices of Motions General Business Notices of Motions (General Notices) given. PRIVATE MEMBERS' STATEMENTS Question—That private members' statements be noted—proposed. PENRITH RELAY FOR LIFE Mrs KARYN PALUZZANO (Penrith—Parliamentary Secretary) [1.09 p.m.]: As many members of this House and the other place know, the Cancer Council of New South Wales promotes Relay for Life to raise awareness in and educate the community about cancer and to advocate research into cancer. Penrith Relay for Life is an annual event, now in its eighth year. It is growing bigger and better every year. This year the event was held on the weekend of 2 and 3 May 2009. As patron of Penrith Relay for Life, I was proud to see the number of teams that had registered on the website prior to the day. But, as the communities of Penrith and the lower Blue Mountains know, people sign up on the day to participate in this team relay event, which takes place over 24 hours. The new chair of Penrith Relay for Life, Mr Greg Sayers, is a human resources manager from Springwood who lost his partner to breast cancer: Greg is now a single father. His partner had been a good friend of the committee. Julia Parashko, who had been the chair of Penrith Relay for Life for the previous three years, encouraged Greg to become more active and involved with the Relay for Life.
