Face of Hope: D'ARTAGNAN

Roy and Diane own and run D'ARTAGNAN, a locals favourite homeware store in Moonee Ponds, Melbourne. They have been collecting in-store donations for Fight Cancer Foundation since July 2017, raising more than $1400 to date.

How long have you been involved with Fight Cancer Foundation?

We have been involved for just over one year 

How do you support Fight Cancer Foundation?

We sell items that have been damaged in store or have been damaged in transit from our suppliers. These items would ordinarily be sent to waste. Instead of customers purchasing these items, we give them the option of making a donation to Fight Cancer Foundation or Roy's tips.

How did you become involved?

One of our lovely customers Ida, is involved with Fight Cancer Foundation and mentioned that Hugh Jackman was a patron of the Foundation. Diane is very keen to meet Hugh and thought this may be a way to do it. She is still waiting.

Why do you choose to support Fight Cancer Foundation?

We are a high profile store in Moonee Ponds and have been around for some time. We have had the privilege of seeing our customers children grow up. We are truly local. Many of our customers are now friends and just come in to say "hi" and catch up. Sadly, over the years, we have lost some of these friends to cancer. If we can play even a minor part in helping to fight this disease, we consider it worthwhile.
