The Master of the Luz de Murcia Masonic Lodge, Alan Ryal, attended the February meeting of MABS Cancer Support Group, Murcia/Mar Menor, to hand over a cheque for 3,468€. Throughout 2009, the members of Luz de Murcia Lodge have raised money in various ways, from buying MABS trolley coin key rings and pin badges, to filling home collection boxes and holding garden BBQs, functions and lunches. “We raise money for charity every year and, during my year of office, Carol and I decided that we wanted to do what we could for MABS, because of the vital work that they do in the Murcia region” said Alan.
MABS Co-ordinator for Murcia/Mar Menor, Lyn Baines, is delighted “This is a fantastic amount for us to receive and we’re extremely grateful for Alan and Carol for choosing us as their charity for 2009.” she commented. “This generous donation will enable us to buy more equipment to help our patients in the home, such as electric beds and ripple mattresses. It will also allow us to continue driving patients to hospital for appointments and providing translators.”
MABS Murcia/Mar Menor always welcomes new volunteers, so if you would like to help as a driver, fundraiser, translator or just by being there for someone, they’d like to hear from you. MABS also has a Share & Care Group, for those affected by cancer. They meet on the third Friday of each month at the Centro Civico in Roda village and the next meeting is on Friday, 19 February at 11.00. Call 693 795 247 for further details.
