The MABS Sol Park Centre opened in June 2009 to provide cancer patients, their families, carers and friends with emotional and practical support such as confidential counselling by qualified counsellors, and complementary treatments and therapies.
On September 27th, over 60 people gathered to see three organisations make presentations to the Group.
The Costa Blanca Business Association presented a lymph control laser machine to MABS President, Jacquelyne Phillips MBE, for use by MABS therapists at the Centre.
CBBA´s President, Sr Jesus Francisco Negrillo said
“We are delighted that our fundraising so far has been able to pay for this lymph control laser machine, and we hope that it will bring many benefits to the patients helped by MABS. So far this year the CBBA members have taken part in the Race for Life in April, and have held a rastro stall in Pedregeur in May, raising a total of over €2500 to buy this much needed equipment. On behalf of the Costa Blanca Business Association, and in memory of our member and MABS Vice President, Frances Sawyer, we are pleased to present this equipment to MABS.”
Jalon & Orba Lions presented a wonderful storage cabinet and vertical blinds, both for the treatment centre.
Their President, Anna Cameron said “We always enjoy the fundraising we do for MABS and we know that the things we provide are very necessary to the group”.
Moraira and Teulada Lions presented six comfortable commode armchairs and six ripple mattresses.
Their President, Dr Nico Dekkers, said “It’s a thank you for the work you have done and will do in the future for our members”.
All three of the organisations present have worked hard to fund-raise for MABS and Mrs Phillips recognised them for their tireless work at today’s event and would like to again, publicly, say “Thank you!”
