Benefactor gives $102m for Queensland medical research | The Australian

Benefactor gives $102m for Queensland medical research | The Australian: "A FRIENDSHIP formed in Hong Kong between a knockabout Australian tennis player and a fledgling Irish business tycoon more than 40 years ago yesterday led to the biggest single corporate donation in Australian history.

Chuck Feeney, who in recent years has given more than $170million to various medical research establishments, mostly in Brisbane but some in Melbourne, yesterday gave $102m to three medical projects based in Queensland."
