GREAT EXCITEMENT AT MABS CANCER SUPPORT GROUP AS WE LAUNCH OUR 2012 CALENDAR

Jacqueline Phillips MBE, President of MABS Cancer Support Group, launched the MABS 2012 calendar at Cafe Del Mar, Rada de Moraira on Wednesday, 16th November 2011.
Jacqui spoke briefly about how MABS came to be and how the Group assists those undergoing treatment for cancer in so many ways today, twelve years on.
She told over 40 people gathering for lunch:
“The 2012 Calendar has been designed differently to previous years and it features excellent and unique photographs of Spain by our own Nik Nickerson. With room for each day’s appointments, you will find the main Spanish and UK holidays are listed along with contact phone numbers for all four MABS Branches and all MABS Area Offices, MABS Charity support shops and MABS therapy centres. More than just a calendar…… this is a great resource for everyone.”
Jacqui went on to tell the group that the Calendars will be on sale at all branches of Iceland for the next few weeks at a cost of three euros and she thanked Iceland for their help with this distribution. Jacqui also thanked the other sponsors, SR Print and Design, Securistore, Female Focus, Cooper Removals, Telitec Communications and Heat FM.
Calendars will also be available for sale at the MABS Sol Park Centre, all MABS charity shops and it can also be ordered by emailing MABS through www.mabscancersupport.org.
Jacqui thanked Pam Small of MABS and Sherry from Café del Mar for organising the event at which 500 euros was raised from a raffle and calendar sales. This was a great achievement and thanks go to everyone who contributed towards the day.

Note for editors: As MABS grows we are constantly in need of more volunteers. If you think your readers or listeners may have time on their hands; please think of ways you could help us to encourage them to join us. Thank you. There are now four main branches and several area offices of the charity in many geographical areas from Valencia to Gibraltar. All need their Volunteers: Supporters, Drivers, Translators and, indeed, people who can ‘just be a buddy’ who’ll pop in for a cuppa, do a bit of shopping or just be there to listen. MABS Cancer Support Group offers support and kindness to cancer patients. The support group was started in 1999 by Jacqui Phillips MBE along with others who had been affected by cancer but had no one in Spain to turn to for advice and support. Together they decided that those who don’t speak Spanish should not have to worry -  like they’d had to - about translation between themselves and medical staff, the lack of technical information about their cancer, transportation to and from hospital appointments and support for family and friends. The ladies were firmly determined to address all these things, and more, for cancer patients in the future. Today MABS helps all nationalities, including Spanish speaking residents. MABS Cancer Support Group is registered charity number 7261.

TWO WELL KNOWN CHARITIES SHARE THE GIVING


Both MABS Cancer Support Group and Jalon Valley HELP are known for their
giving and caring.

This week MABS was fortunate to share the fundraiser that Jalon Valley HELP put on
during their PINK WEEK earlier this month.

Jalon Valley Help President, Rhonda Ryan, presented a cheque for 1,052 euros to
MABS President, Jacquelyne Phillips MBE, at the MABS get together at MABS Centre
for Therapy in Sol Park, Javea.


As Rhonda, still pretty in pink, explained

“During our ‘Pink Week” at the beginning of October we raised over 2000 euros
from our coffee morning and in our Charity shops. We decided that 50% should go
to MABS and 50% should go to Aspanion, the cancer care centre for children at
Lafé Hospital in Valencia. 
For those who don’t know of Lafé Hospital, it’s like Spain’s equivalent of the UK’s
Great Ormond Street and they have a big department researching children’s
cancers”.

Jacqui Phillips expressed the thanks of the MABS Cancer Support Group to
Rhonda and to everyone at Jalon Valley HELP for their generosity and
thoughtfulness by saying:

“You can be assured that this money will make a huge difference to what we can do
in the Jalon Valley area and throughout the Costa Blanca.”


Its a crazy world.............
