Vines Wear a Hat Day for Taylan's Project.

On the 5th of March 2010 Vines Group help raise money for Taylan's Project who help fundraise for Brain Tumour Research.

 

In the UK, five year survival for leukaemia is now 80% compared to 20% thirty years ago and in

most cases there is a cure. This is because of the sterling work done by charities such as Children

with Leukaemia and Leukaemia Research with the support of celebrities like Gary Lineker to raise

awareness and funds for research into leukaemia. The impossible has happened, families are

seeing loved ones beat the disease and live much longer than they would have ever dreamed

possible.

Brain tumours are sometimes called a Cinderella disease, because so little is known about them.

This means they are also forgotten when it comes to allocating funds for research. Yet, more

children and people under the age of 40 die of a brain tumour than any other cancer and five

year survival is still only 14%.

 

Vines Group encourage staff to donate £3 or more to wear casual clothes and a hat supporting this worth while charity.  Vines Group was proud to raise over £700 for the charity which proved to be a very successful day.
