3rd year for 3 Wheel Scotland
This years 3 Wheel event was another sucessful fundraising event - the total amount raised has still to be confirmed but it looks like nearly £6,000 bringing our overall total to £27,000 - well done to everyone who took part, each mile in cramped conditions, each night sleeping in a water logged tents & each breakdown you have is really is worth while.....honest!
With the money 3 Wheel Scotland raised DGRI Childrens Ward 15 purchased specialist breathing equipment & staff training, Kirstine Burns Senior Sister said 'thank you so much for the tremendous donations, the equipment & training we've been able to purchase though your donations will ensure very sick babies & children can be treated in Dumfries instead of having the added trauma of being moved to another hospital'
The donation given to Edinburgh Sick Kids Hopsital has contributed towards purchasing pioneering equipment for brain surgery, artists & writers to work with young patients whilst in hospital & also towards the continued cost of funding the Drop in Centre, play departments, Kidsnet & wonderful Clowndoctors. Rachel McKenzie, the Community Fundraising Manager said ' please pass on our sincere thanks to everyone who helped to make these donations possible. We rely on the support of kind people like you who are willing to make an extra special effort to help raise much needed funds for sick kids.'
Yorkhill, Royal Hospital for Sick Children we're delighted with the donations recieved, Kirsten Sinclair, Community Fundraiser said 'On behalf of Yorkhill & all the sick children who will benefit from 3 Wheel Scotlands generosity, I would like to sincerely thank you, your family & friends for the wonderful donations, your support will enable us to provide enhanced medical equipement & resources, suchas the recently purchased Neonatal Ulstrasound machine. With donations like yours we are able to continue paying for visits from musicians, entertainers & funding many other projects which help put a smile back on sick childrens faces. Thank you again for making this possible.
'West Sound Cash for Kids Coordinator Tommy Jardine said 'We are delighted that 3 Wheel Scotland has choosen Cash for Kids as a beneficiary again this year. This allows us to help even more underprivileged children across Dumfries & Galloway. Our Christmas appeal get's presents under trees, for some this is the only present they will receive. Over £15,000 in Christmas Presents were delivered via the local Social Work department in 2010, helping around 600 children in Dumfries & Galloway.
