Late last month, Mary joined over 100 people at the launch of the ACT Corneal Transplant program at Calvary Hospital.

“Corneal transplants can transform people’s lives and can now be performed locally in Canberra, but eye tissue donors are vital to sustaining this program,” Mary said.

During the event two Canberrans, Mr Frank Villegas and Ms Emma De Landre, each a recipient of a corneal transplant, spoke of the incredible difference that the transplant had made to their life.
