MDA is Israel's only medical emergency response and ambulance service and although MDA receives minimal government funding, MDA carries out its lifesaving work in Israel; providing its services to all, regardless of race, creed or ethnic affiliation. MDA's workforce is made up of 90% volunteers working side by side for a common purpose – to save lives.
We have a massive fundraising target and with your help, we hope to not only meet our target, but smash it!! We hope we can count on you to support us with your hard-earned £££'s!
Thanking you in advance for your generosity.
Richard and Simon :-)
