Fund Raising Dance & Buffet
In aid of sending children with kidney transplants from The Evelina Children's Hospital to the Transplant Games in Edinburgh.

This is the tenth year of fund raising for Michael and Eileen Gill raising nearly £40,000 for the British Transplant Games during this time. Last year, the fund raising dance raised £3,000 alone and they hope to improve on that amount this year.

The Evelina Children's Hospital is in the grounds of St. Thomas' Hospital in Westminster. Evelina is one of ten transplant units in the country. They hope to bring 25 children to the Transplant Games to be held in Edinburgh. It costs approximately £600 per child and so this fund raiser was very much needed. Grainne Walsh and Cathy Gill, both of whom work at Evelina's, expressed their gratitude to every one who attended and supported the occasion.

The church hall of Our Lady & St. Philip Neri was packed with dancing, chatty, happy people enjoying themselves in the knowledge that it was all in aid of a worthy cause. The Benn Brothers provided the entertainment, accompanied by the fine voice of Michael Gill.

And so to the real stars of the night: Millie Young will compete in her first Transplant Games in Edinburgh whereas the now veteran Ruban Nathan will be competing for a fifth time! Good luck to the both of them and to all the other children competing in the Games. VIPs? Very Important Penguins!
