Tara Bird (pictured) has raised £742 for St Mary's Hospice by organising a fundraising night at the Albion pub, Barrow-in-Furness, which took place on 19th February. Along with her darts team, Tara wished to repay the kindness that was shown to a relative as they were cared for by the nurses of St Mary's.
Tara put a great deal of effort into organising the event and managed to obtain 80 raffle prizes by approaching retailers in Barrow to ask for their support. Being a big Barrow Raiders fan, Tara also took a St Mary's collection box to a game and collected donations from the fans. Tara would like to thank all of the Raiders fans for their donations.
Thanks also go out to Landlady of The Albion, Lynda Potter who arranged and kindly paid for a DJ for the event, and to brave Martin Boylan who raised sponsorship on the night by having his head shaved and his legs waxed!
St Mary's would like to thank all of those involved in the Fundraising night. The help we receive from the local community is very special and it is what enables St Mary's to continue to provide comprehensive supportive and palliative care for adults in South Cumbria.
