In 2018 John Minnis Estate Agents have arranged and taken part in some fantastic fundraising events and with your help we have raised almost £2000.
Our fundraisers have varied this year, from hosting a Macmillan coffee morning in our Holywood Office, enjoying delicious treats and great conversations with our lovely clients to getting our Staff out in their lycra for the Run in the Dark at Stormont to support the Mark Pollock Trust.
Our most recent Fundraiser was a night at the movies with popcorn and prosecco in the Tudor Cinema in aid of Kodis Krew.
Kodi Brown is a 10 year old girl from Killinchy, Co. Down who has been diagnosed with a Brain Tumour.
Curative treatment was not offered in the UK on the NHS for Kodis condition. Her family refused to accept that there were no other options. The family researched other methods unsupported in the UK and found a clinic in Germany who offered them hope. They set off on a self funded trip to Germany to a clinic where pioneering immunotherapy is offered, alongside infusion treatments to strengthen the immune system in conjunction with conventional brain tumour treatments. Each week of treatment is costing €6,000, each MRI scan is €950. The treatment is expected to last for 6 months, during which time Kodi hopefully will be able to return home for short periods of respite.
When we heard of Kodi's story we were egar to help. Our night at the movies was a great success with a sold out venue. We raised £928 from ticket sales and holding a raffle on the night. When we reached out to organise raffel prizes, we were overwhelmed by the support of other businesses in the surrounding area. We received amazing prizes and vouchers from The Sugarcane, Triat Coffee, Indie Fude, The Comber Tandori, Millenial Nails, Clinique, Aly Harte, Stremavale Farm & Urban Fitness.
We loved all of our fundraising events in 2018 and look forward to continuing this in 2019.
