In early 2022 I was given the dreaded cancer diagnosis and was to begin the long season of treatments. The thought of the treatment and the travelling was daunting. Living in Yanchep and having to travel to Charlies twice a week was just too much for me to manage. But help was at hand…. When I first moved to Yanchep in 2019 I used to see a local volunteer group who regularly fund raised at the shopping Centre. This group was called TRYACT and they provide the much needed transportation for people diagnosed with cancer, needing treatment at various hospitals that are just too far away to go by public transport. I know I used to think that when I retire, I’d like to volunteer with this group. Well, as it happened, I ended up calling them for help with transport to my own treatment appointments. What a beautiful group of caring, friendly people they are. It was never ever too much trouble for someone to collect me, drive me, wait till my treatment was done and then take me home. I never ever felt as though this was an imposition. Jo and her team of WILLING helpers have been an enormous blessing to me and my family also. It was a relief for my family who couldn’t always take me, to know that I was safe and in good hands. I just can’t thank you enough TRYACT. I wish you all the very best as you continue to serve the Two Rocks and Yanchep community with this vital service. God Bless you

TRYACT is a wonderful service for the community of Two Rocks and Yanchep. Having the stress of finding parking and navigating traffic to my husband’s cancer appointments taken away, has made the whole process so much easier to bear, especially with such caring volunteers. Thank you TRYACT, Jo and the many fantastic volunteers.

Hi Jo, Many thanks for the service you and the volunteers provided for me. Regards to Gail, Frank, Johanne, Deb and John. You are all very special. A BIG THANK YOU Cheers

Six months after retiring to Two Rocks, my husband John was diagnosed with throat cancer. Being a country girl, driving in the city was terrifying to me. At that stage we hadn’t made many friends, so getting to and from the myriad of appointments at Charlies was a real dilemma. And then we found TRYACT. What a God send, what a relief. John had 5 surgical procedures before he even began his radiation and chemo treatment. The radiation was 15 minutes a day for 7 weeks. With a 1 ½ hour drive to Charlies and a 1 ½ hour drive back. And then there was all his post treatment appointments with his various specialists until John got back on his feet and could again drive. We feel very blessed to have found TRYACT and blessed to have such a caring local organization and group of local volunteers in our community. Thanks TRYACT

Jo, We’ve been working so hard on finding Mum safe accommodation and she’s just moved in today. I just wanted to say a very heartfelt thank you. Thank you so very much for your support and transport. I really can’t tell you in words how important that was for my Mum to do it herself and how much I appreciated the time. Please let every driver know they’re incredible and compassionate and so very patient with my mother. I hope our paths cross in the future so I can give you the biggest cuddle I have.

I would like to thank TRYACT and its wonderful drivers for their kind assistance with transporting me to and from my treatment for prostate cancer. Being able to concentrate on getting well and not having to worry about the driving, when you’re not at your best, is very important and takes a huge weight off your mind. The drivers are so caring and I couldn’t praise them more highly. Thank you, TRYACT Lachlan

Tryact have been a blessing to me since starting chemo in January. It is a wonderful service with wonderful volunteer drivers. Not only are they kind, courteous and considerate but good safe drivers who pick you up on time to get to your appointment. We could not have managed without them and consider ourselves very lucky to have this service available to us here in Yanchep and Two Rocks. A big thank you to all of you . Pauline Wimsett
