Former classmates of the late Malinda Binns have banded together to help her family cover the cost of her cancer treatment.

The Whitney Bulls class of ’77 to ’82 is a group of Whitney Institute graduates who “pull together as a unit during good times and bad”, according to team member Andrea Daniels.

With the offering of “prayers, hospital visits and generous donations”, the Bulls collectively raised $2,390 to present to her daughter, Anita O’Connor. Née O’Connor, Malinda was dying from cancer when she married Jamel Binns at a ceremony in October at Agape House. She passed away last month, leaving her family with bills topping $100,000.

The donations are going to the Lady Cubitt Compassionate Association.

“Every little bit counts in making a big difference,” Ms Daniels said.

Donations towards the cause are still being taken at the LCCA’s HSBC account #010-287209-002. Donors are asked to state that their funds are intended for Malinda Binns.
