Members of Rotary Hartlepool were given an informative talk recently on the essential services provided by the Bright Red charity for people affected by various forms of blood cancer.
Based at Ward 33 at the Freeman Hospital, in Newcastle, the publicly-supported charity is striving to beat illnesses such as leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma.
Presenting a cheque from Rotary for her presentation and to support its efforts, Rotary chairman Wally Stewart said: “Thank you for enlightening us as to the important work carried out by Bright Red and the care you offer to the patients affected.”
