BOOST APPEAL update

We recently donated to BOOST, £1000 from the Xmas Wreath-making Workshop, here'e an update from Wendy Nightgale, the chairperson;

Since February 2011 BOOST, the Digital Mammography Appeal has raised over £460,000.  As chairwoman of the Appeal I would like to say a big thank you to the people and businesses of Dorset who have been so generous with their time and money in helping raise this incredible sum for the Appeal. 
The hospital intend to make up the rest of the money and after many discussions and demonstrations they have now decided which machine they intend to purchase. There is a lot of building work to be done on the Breast Assessment Unit to house this new equipment and hopefully work on this will start in the very near future. 

The hospital is hopeful that the newly furbished breast assessment unit will be up and running by late spring or early summer which means that diagnosis of breast cancer will be faster and more accurate, treatment will start earlier and more lives will be saved.
WELL DONE ALL!
