The NELUNE Foundation aims to provide psychological and practical support, assistance and care for public hospital and underprivileged cancer patients in the community – 'Helping Patients Fight Cancer With Dignity'.

The NELUNE Foundation is a not-for-profit charity that supports children, adolescents, adults and their families
to cope with the impact of cancer by providing emotional support, care and post-operative medical aids that are not covered by government or private funding.

To date, over $5 million has been raised by the Foundation to provide practical and tangible help for cancer patients receiving treatment in the NSW public hospital service.

The NELUNE Foundation was co-founded in 2001 by Nelune Rajapakse OAM and Anna Guillan.

Nelune is a cancer survivor who knows and understands the difficulties of being diagnosed with this illness.

VALE - ALBERTO MODOLO, OAM

The NELUNE Foundation mourns the passing of Alberto Modolo.

Alberto, together with his wife, Cecile and son, Paolo, have been long-standing and true friends of the Foundation.

Alberto was loyal to the Foundation's goals and totally committed to its success and future and it was with his personal support and ongoing encouragement that the Foundation has continued to embark on new and greater initiatives.

Alberto passed away peacefully on Friday 24 June 2011. His unexpected death leaves us sad, however we take joy in remembering and celebrating his wonderful life, his many personal achievements and his warmth, kindness and humility.

Our thoughts and love are with Cecile, Paolo and all of Alberto's family.

- Nelune Rajapakse & Anna Guillan
