Staff Fundraise for Macmillan

 

KA Leisure staff have made a difference this year by raising over £1000 in aid of cancer care charity Macmillan. 

Helen Campbell, Spokesperson for KA Leisure (pictured on the right) remarked:

“The staff really enjoyed organising the fun or run events in Millport and Eglinton Country Park. Not only did the 2 events encourage folk to be more active for a good cause but without the support of those who took part we could never have raised our first milestone of £1000! Well done and thanks to all our 100s of runners and walkers who came to join us from across Scotland.”

Money raised from these events will be used to fund Macmillan's vital services in the local area.

 “Macmillan relies almost entirely on donations and we are delighted with the efforts made by our friends at KA Leisure, and their supporters, to ensure these fundraising events were a great success!”

April Andrews, Fundraising Manager for Ayrshire (pictured left above).


These events will become part of the annual calendar and raise even more for cancer support next year!
