1000kms4kids welcomes our first Diamond Sponsor - the Margate Pharmacy

We are very grateful for the support shown by Margate Pharmacy's owner Mr John Geary. His very generous sponsorship of 1000kms4kids, will go a very long way in helping us prepare for the 2010 event. Without such support out goal of raising $100,000 annually for Tasmanian Kids in need will be so much harder to achieve.

John has been a pharmacist for almost 30 years, originally owning the Swansea Pharmacy before moving to southern Tasmania in 1985 and establishing the Blackmans Bay Pharmacy. In 2002 he took over the Margate Pharmacy, which has now become his main focus.

John has a very interesting career history having worked overseas for a period in Fiji and his rural work within Tasmania includes a stint on King Island. He is a very loyal family man with three children, John is also a true supporter of Tasmania – in particular rural and remote areas – and through his support of our endeavour John is clearly showing he is a great supporter of its kids as well.

1000kms4kids would encourage anyone who is in or passing through the Margate area to pop in and see John and his team for good old fashioned personal attention to all your pharmacy needs.
