More and more of our volunteers have been literally going that ‘extra mile’ by taking part in various fundraising events for the MediCinema they volunteer at:
The volunteers at MediCinema St Thomas’ hold regular fundraising stalls, baking home-made cakes and donating prizes for the ever popular ‘tombola’ which all contribute to their ‘Volunteers Fundraising Pot’ to help towards the cost of MediCinema St Thomas’ refurbishment in celebration of our tenth anniversary.
Vertical Limit Venture – Volunteers from MediCinema St Thomas’ together with their friends abseiled down Kings College Hospital in July 2009. You can still show your support by visiting www.justgiving.com/verticallimitventure
Volunteers and nurses ran the Glasgow 10k last year raising money for MediCinema Yorkhill.
From Everest With Love – In March 2010 Paul, once a patient who benefited from MediCinema, now a committed volunteer, will trek to the base camp of Everest. To show your support for this honourable endeavour of dedication and endurance, please visit www.justgiving.com/fromeverestwithlove
