Girl leaves for transplant
PA Auckland Tracy Holmes, aged 10, left Auckland Airport yesterday in an R.N.Z.A.F. Boeing 727 for life-saving liver transplant surgery In England. Sailors of H.M.N.Z.S. Tamaki raised $1240 for Tracy during the weekend, and Southland and Otago Lions have raised $84,000. The appeal will continue.
“Tracy is Tamaki’s charity for 1986, you might say,” said Squadron Leader Hank Moffatt yesterday. More than $lOO,OOO is needed to pay for Tracy’s surgery and accommodation for her parents and sister, Shelley. The family is from Otautau, 56km north-west of Invercargill.
