Congratulations to John and Christine Sach’s Who attended a charity auction which raised £28,800 for funding McMillan nurses. That is a fantastic sum of money. The evening was a black tie event, I hope they feel proud of themselves and all who are involved as they have done very well.
I cannot find a link but I am going to add the script from the newspaper article to the blog.
Anyone who would like to see it, I can forward it to you.
“Inspired by the work of the heart of Kent Hospice, bidders at a charity auction pledged the most money, not for glittering prizes,but to fund MacMillan nurses.
The hospices black tie spring ball, at Turkey Mill, Maidstone, Last Friday, raised £28,800.
While bidding reached upwards of £250 per lot, the best supported item was one in which the guests were invited to donate towards the cost of MacMillan nursing.
It costs about £150 per day to fund the work of one MacMillan nurse. Auction bidders paid for 41 days. The hospice has a team of 6 MacMillan nurses and a manager who provide care for patients and their carers at the hospice and at patients home.
Jennie Hubbard, the hospice’s director of fund raising and marketing said "we are overwhelmed with everyones generosity”.
