Father Brian Morrison was a Catholic priest who worked for 40 years in providing crisis care for people affected by the upheaval caused by natural and man made disasters.
[2][3] The charity regularly distributes tonnes of food to needy West Australians, many of whom live on the streets,[3] and organises an annual Christmas Appeal.
He made thirty trips to places such as East Timor, Bangladesh, Chechnya, Thailand and Iraq to help people in need, particularly children in some of the world's most devastated areas.
[8] Internationally Father Brian has organised relief efforts for the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, for victims of the Bali bombings and for children affected by the Chernobyl disaster.
During his visits to help Chernobyl victims Father Brain suffered radiation poisoning, probably through consuming contaminated food,[5] it is thought that this was the cause of his terminal lymphocytic cancer and adenocarcinoma.
