On Wednesday (the 13th) I was joined by Lisa, Carol Eldridge, Joe & Julie Harris and Lee at the Diabetes Centre at Darent Valley.
The specialist diabetes centre staff gave us a warm welcome for the presentation of the cheques from the fundraising of my chosen charity for 2015.
As usual I didn't know what to expect but as in all adventures the time at the centre was lovely.
We gave a bit of background to why this was the chosen cause, we then had a quick interview conducted by their comms team and then had to take part in a photo call. More importantly we saw what some of the monies already received had been spent on - a clinic room for drugs admin has been refurbed with new desking and 2 new computers - it is simple but real and has made a huge difference to the team. Other items are being ordered from the wish list and individuals from the team spoke to us individually which was fantastic.
We made the newsletter and various social media feeds following our visit and I share with you a photo.
Saying thanks doesn't seem enough for the support shown by the section for charity across the board but having the opportunity to nominate 2 great causes last year was a privilege I am sure I won't repeat this.
The cheques to Macmillan for the Maidstone oncology unit will be sent shortly and I will share any updates I receive via Lisa.
The final total for 2015 was £12,850 - more than amazing, and we all contributed to that.
Biggest hugs to you all in 2016 - I am enjoying seeing Lisa as our new lady captain and look forward to getting back out on
the course as the weather permits.
Biggest hugs
Georgina
