Diners dig deep for Macmillan
20th June 2017
Guests at this year’s FIT Show Gala Dinner raised £15,233.57 following a heartfelt appeal for donations to Macmillan Nurses by Gary Morton, well known for his own charity work through GM Fundraising.
With a call for donations traditionally being made to raise funds for a cause close to the hearts of people connected with the window and door industry, this year Macmillan Nurses was chosen by Leon Day, former owner and managing director of Universal Arches, who sadly lost his partner Jo to cancer earlier this year.
Leon said: “It’s difficult to put into words the magnitude of this incredible gesture and with other donations, we’re now over £19,000 raised for Macmillan who did so much to help Jo, particularly in the latter days. On behalf of Jo’s family and myself, I’d like to thank everyone, yet again this industry has shown how generous it can be.”
