The name Melissa Vining will be familiar to many. Her husband, Blair, died in 2019 after using the last months of his life to campaign for cancer care reform. Melissa has continued to fly the flag as a cancer advocate and on Friday the Southland charity hospital she has been helping to create came one step closer after The Clifton Club Inn was handed over so it can be transformed into the facility. Melissa joins the show from Winton to discuss how this incredible initiative has been achieved.
