Samantha, Secretary of Caithness Boxing Club, shared what motivated them to support NHS Highland:
“As a club, we were inspired to raise money for Raigmore CCU as a token of our appreciation for the care, kindness and compassion shown to one of our dear members, Megan Mackay, and her family and friends when we she became ill last April and very sadly passed away.”
Samantha also spoke about why supporting local healthcare matters so much to everyone at the club:
“When Megan became unwell, her family and friends unfortunately experienced first hand what it felt like to wait for the news of a loved one’s progress during a devastating time. This is why we would like the money raised to help with the upkeep or provide further comforts in the waiting areas or rooms where people, often unexpectedly, find themselves spending great deals of time.”
“We would encourage anybody to consider fundraising for the NHS Highland charity. Unfortunately none of us know when we might find ourselves in a situation where these services become essential.”
