January 2020Starbase 24 donated 200 Australian
dollars (approx £119) to two different charities working in Australia.  While
we primarily fundraise for our three UK charities, we have always
reserved the right to offer support and assistance to other charities
and good causes on an ad-hoc basis, depending upon need at the time. We
are sure that all will agree that Australia needs help and support
from the international community at this time.

 | M's Skydive, November 2017 The
lovely 'M', aka Marie Smith, did a skydive to raise money for
cancer. For those who don't know, 'M' is a cancer survivor and
continues her fight against the disease.
"I
was diagnosed with stomach cancer three and half years ago now. Chemo,
stomach removed and further chemo I'm still here fighting, despite
being given a 15% chance of surviving five years.
I'm
over half way through the years I was given but I'm not letting them
stop me. With the help of my loving partner I've been working on my
bucket list and a parachute jump has always been up there ever since I
saw my Dad do his first jump.
So
when the Cancer Society Canterbury - West Coast Division put up about
their Jump for Cancer 2017, I knew this was a cause I had to support."
M raised a total of $1506.87 (NZ dollars).
Well done, M! |
