dizzy day 2008 : results are in... (24/08/08)
The day was awesome, new venue, perfect weather, great feedback,
record numbers through the doors & a record profit on the day of an estimated £1000...
This money will now go directly to assist people & their carers in our hospital catchment areas (WASH & St Richards) to assist them to live with diabetes. Once the funds have been distributed details will be placed on our website, on who has benefited & how the money has helped etc etc.
We are very grateful to all that attended, our tireless volunteers,
all donators of prizes & our fantastic commercial/ business supporters.
Without all this help dizzy would not be what we are today & where we are now taking the organisation further forward.
