From Michelle Stevenson:
The Account for The Friends of Highland Rheumatology Unit (HRU) is now up and running for anyone who may have a fundraising idea or perhaps would like to make a voluntary donation. All monies raised will be used to benefit the patients of the Rheumatology Unit in Dingwall by way of items used on a daily basis. (ie heatbags/blankets/electric beds/hoists etc)
To date, and after several fundraising activities we have raised nearly £800. The Bric-a-Brac fair at Ledgowan Lodge Hotel raised £313.20 and the boot sale at Achnasheen on Sat 1 May raised £60 (as items were only priced £1, some people very generously gave more than this, thank you, you know who you are). And many thanks to Gill Ross for the use of the hall. Very kind of you misses!
By the time you read this Ryan Maclean of Kinlochewe will have taken part in the Bealach na Beag cycle challenge (Sat 8 May) - a sponsored event in aid of Friends of HRU. There will be another update in the next issue. We hope to raise enough money to take our account over the £1,000 mark. If you would like to make a voluntary donation, please phone me for details. Michelle (01445) 760351.
Many thanks to everyone for their generous support so far. It really is appreciated! The Rheumatology Review is ongoing with NHS , but we had the 4 inpatient beds re-installed on 5th April bringing the beds back up to 14. However, the fight is far from over!
Watch this space.....
