Mąrie Kiddle - of the Northants Golf Club - Ladies Section.
Many thanks to Marie Kiddle of the Northants Golf Club, Ladies section who nominated GRACE as her charity of the year and raised an amazing £4,000 during her tenure. Marie asked that the funds she raised be put towards the purchase of the da Vinci robot. The robot is now being used by our surgeons for gynae cancer cases and is resulting in a much less traumatic surgery experience for these women. The robot is known as the machine that cuts out cancer - it is much more accurate than conventional minimal access surgery because the robot mimics the surgeon's hands, enhancing precision and dexterity vital to the success of preserving delicate nerves and blood vessels. Thank you Marie and all the ladies of the club for helping GRACE to reach it's target.
Richard Coles of Forest Green
A huge Thank you to Richard Coles who ran the Barns Green Marathon in November 2009 and seems to have been sponsored by the whole of Forest Green village. He raised over £1,750 for GRACE and claims to have had a lot of fun in the process. Well done Richard and thank you from all at GRACE for your dedication and hard work.
