gift-aid tax relief from the government to make your donation go even further.
WANTED:
Peter Pans and Tinkerbells with Fairy Feet
We are looking for Peter Pans, and Tinkerbells to make up thirty pairs of fairy feet to run for Fairy Box in the Dundee Running Adventure Marathon on Saturday, September 20.
With a sprinkling of fairy dust before you set off you will be helping the charity in our commitment to bring comfort and cheer to children in hospital in Dundee and across Scotland.
Step by running step, you will be helping us to keep our fairy gift boxes full to the brim with toys, games, dvds, and gifts to help ill, frightened and distressed children cope better with their time in hospital.
Moment by moment each time a Fairy Box gift is chosen on the hospital ward it helps to shorten the road to recovery and the time to go home draws closer.
We have Fairy Boxes in Dundee, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Perth, Stirling, Paisley, and the Orkney Islands, and are working on our long-term aim of having a Fairy Box on every children’s ward in Britain.
You can help us restock an existing Fairy Box, or start a new one where there is none at present.
£350 will re-stock an existing Fairy Box and £400 will start a new Fairy Box. Runners can deduct their DRAM entry fee from the funds which they raise for the charity.
