Fundraising for Dumfries & Galloway Health Board Endowment Fund

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The 28th of February is the anniversary of when we lost my beautiful Mum to Bowel Cancer. This year on that day I am going to have my hair shaved off and try and raise some money and awareness for the Stoma Care/Bowel Cancer Endowment Fund at the D&G Royal Infirmary.

I will also be donating my hair to The Little Princess Trust who make wigs for kids that have lost their hair through treatment for cancer.

It has been 23 years since we lost our Mum and I know any money donated will help people affected by this horrible disease.

Anything you can spare and donate would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Dumfries and Galloway Health Board Endowment Fund is a charity of over 240 funds for the benefit of patients and staff in Dumfries and Galloway. Each hospital and most wards, units, departments and speciality has its own individual fund. These individual funds are managed by senior staff working in that specific area and are used to enhance patient care. The charity funds are used for the purchase of equipment, patient comforts and amenities, research and training together with the provision of extra facilities and opportunities not available from government funding. An example of one of our individual funds is the Alexandra Unit which is a specialist palliative care unit. The principle aim of the unit is to enhance quality of life on a day-to-day basis. Care is provided by a multi-disciplinary specialist team, encompassing medical, nursing, social work, physiotherapy, psychology and spiritual care specialities. The unit is bright and airy comprising of eight single bedrooms, a common room, outside terrace and ward kitchen. The emphasis is on offering comfort and flexibility in a warm and friendly atmosphere where patients can live as if they were at home whilst receiving specialist care.
