Individual Donations
Chris Knighton was delighted to be presented with a promotional banner by the Rotary Club of Monkseaton Centenary as part of the Clubs Cancer Care Project. Speaking at the presentation President Celia Leach paid tribute to the Fund's volunteers and the research study they are funding at the Northern Institute for Cancer Research.
Paul Drabble from Sheffield donated 400 towards the MKMRF proceeds from a sponsored slim. Well done Paul!
Alan Thorpe was suffering from mesothelioma and well aware of the desperate need for more research awareness into this cruel disease. Alan asked family and friends to give to the fund in lieu of gifts for his 63rd birthday. 1,085 was raised with a further gift from son, Richard's firm BT who generously donated 500 bring the total to a wonderful 1,585. Sadly Alan, a well loved member of the Northeast Mesothelioma Self help Group, died in January and his family and friends once again donated 1,175 to the MKMRF in his memory. We are extremely grateful for their support.
St Columbas United Reformed Church North Shields "HANDS GROUP" raised a staggering 740 at their Coffee morning! Thank you!
