20 SCUNTHORPE TELEGRAPH Friday, November 21, 2008 visit our website www.thisisscunthorpe.co.uk Tickled pink with third hospital bed Charity ball aids more cancer patients KIND-hearted fundraisers have notched up a hat-trick for cancer patients on a Scunthorpe hospital ward by paying for a third electronic bed. Paul Hope (52) and his daughter Charlie (23), of Crowle, have raised enough money, through donations and cash collected from their annual Pink Charity Ball, to provide Ward 18 at Scunthorpe General Hospital with an extra valuable bed. The fundraising duo sought to raise cash for the ward in memory of their wife and mother, Diane Hope, who died in November 2006 after a 10-year battle with breast can- cer. Firefighter Paul said: “It’s the third bed we’ve bought for the ward since we started fun- draising. “Really it’s thanks to all the people who have supported us, through the coffee morn- ings and the Pink Ball. “One of the lads at Crowle Fire Station completed the Great North Run and raised just over £300. “It’s through the generos- ity of people who contribute and support us and not what I do. “We couldn’t do it without them. Also the Scunthorpe Telegraph and other companies in the area who have supported us as well.” One of the hottest strikers in Europe – Liverpool and Spain’s Fernando Torres – helped the cause score a winner, when his signed football shirt was auctioned off in July for £755. In total more than £13,000 has been raised for the cause, with each elec- tronic bed, which gives pa- tients more comfort, costing around £3,500. Ward 18 manager, Julieann Woollass, said: “I would like to say a very big thank you to the family of Diane Hope, who was a former patient with us, for their very kind donations which have enabled us to buy an electric profiling bed. “This new bed will be of benefit to our patients and staff. “Patients are able to move themselves into more comfort- able positions using the state-of-the-art electric con- trols and it is also easier for staff as well. “The money was raised by the family holding a Pink Ball which was a huge success and must have taken an enormous amount of effort to organise. “So, thank you to the family for all of the effort involved in the fundraiser.” Every bed in Ward 18 is now electronic so the fundraisers will now be collecting cash to buy electronic recliner chairs for the ward’s day patients. by Selina Maycock [email protected] THANK YOU: Paul Hope and daughter Charlie Hope, who raised £3,500 for a new elec- tronic bed for ward 18, with ward manager Juilieann Woollass.
