Fundraising in 2012
Here at St John Ambulance in the West
Midlands, we are always looking for new ways to raise funds, and
will be continuing to do so in 2012.
By Any Means
From January to March we will be running a By Any Means
challenge, aiming to cover 2342 miles in
order to raise funds for the St John Eye
Hospital.
The Eye Hospital, which is based in Jerusalem, is the sole
provider of crucial eye care in the Occupied Palestine Territory,
and every year the West Midlands county of St John Ambulance
sponsor staff nurse Malik at the hospital so that he can continue
his vital work.
We're encouraging people to think of creative ways to rack up
the miles and raise funds at the same time. The aim is to cover
2342 miles - the distance between Birmingham and Jerusalem.
More information will be revealed in January, so remember to
check back then, or follow us on Twitter @SJAWMids
