Allana Mackay is raising money for The Archie Foundation - Highland Appeal
Story
Thank You for visiting my Just Giving Page J
I must be mad but I've agreed to participate in this year’s Global Energy Group Inverness Half Marathon.
I will most likely be last across the finish line but at least I can say I’ve completed it and raised as much money as possible for a charity that is very close to my heart - The Archie Foundation.
On March 18th 2011 The ARCHIE Foundation launched an appeal to raise £1Million within two years to completely redevelop Children’s Ward and turn it into a world class centre for sick children.
The Children’s Ward here in Raigmore is a loving and professional place. It has everything the NHS should (and do) provide for a Children’s Ward. Unfortunately however it lacks in many of the specialist people, the fantastic “children-of-all-ages” child friendly environments, specialised equipment and of course the extensive support for families that the ARCHIE Foundation provide.
The work will involve a radical redesign to create a more co-ordinated and focused layout with a child-centred and family-friendly environment, improved facilities, more support for families and more cutting-edge equipment.
On average each day, between 40 and 50 children - from babies to teenagers - come through the doors of the children’s ward.They come from all over the Highlands -Inverness, Nairn, Aviemore, Fort William, Skye and Wick, as well as the Western Isles.
The ARCHIE foundation is here to make a difference to the lives of our sick children butto enable us to do this we need you to help!!
Thank You Allana, Fundraising Manager Highland Appeal J xx
