Blundells Support Sheffield Cystic Fibrosis Appeal
Monday 20th July 2009
Sheffield and north Derbyshire’s leading estate agent has donated thousands of pounds to one of Sheffield Hospital’s Charitable Trust’s major appeals.
Blundells has contributed £5,000 to the Sheffield Cystic Fibrosis Appeal, which aims to raise a total of £1m to further improve facilities for Cystic Fibrosis patients being treated at the Northern General Hospital.
Sarah Thornton, Specialist Dietitian in the Sheffield adult Cystic Fibrosis team, explains: “Whilst the adult Cystic Fibrosis service at the Northern General is recognised as a Centre of Excellence by the national Cystic Fibrosis Trust, it would be further improved if patients could be cared for in a purpose built dedicated unit providing the environment patients with this condition really need.
“The Sheffield Cystic Fibrosis Appeal aims to raise funds to build and fully equip such a centre. Any amount of money can make so much difference to this appeal and £5,000 is an incredible sum to be given. We’re very grateful.”
Ian Appleyard, Director of Blundells, said: “Unfortunately we are well aware of how unpleasant this disease can be, as a few Blundells staff members have family who suffer from Cystic Fibrosis. We are therefore delighted to be able to donate this money to the appeal so that a dedicated unit can be provided for suffers of Cystic Fibrosis. The staff do a brilliant job and we are pleased to be able to help continue to give patients the excellent care they need.”
