NEWS FROM AECC

The AECC Torrevieja office recently received 700€ from Christine Burnham, who wants to thank all who helped raise funds and also a big thank you to Paul and Joe from PJ's bar in Torrevieja. The funds were raised by having a fun race night, a sponsored slim for Christine plus other activities. Christine has been through cancer, but now given the all-clear so wanted to show her gratitude for the care she received and wanted all proceeds to go to AECC.

Twelve year-old Tamara, the daughter of Gabriella from GT's bar in Los Dolces and two of her friends raised 50€ for AECC. Tamara said they wanted this for a cancer charity because her mum’s friend had breast cancer. At Easter they are going to bake small cakes and sell them to family and friends to raise more money for cancer; very heart-warming to see children of that age show such passion and understanding.

Karen from Restaurant Rianxeira in La Regia, Orihuela Costa, organized a 10k walk and raised 314€, donating 157€ to Maria and the Pink Ladies on behalf of AECC, the other half to the St. Patrick's day parade.

AECC organised a raffle at a Bono and John Lennon tribute show at Bar Rocajuna, raising 108€.

Pamela Howard from the La Siesta golf society donated 1,237€, so a big thank you to them and to all of the others mentioned and to those that have not been specifically mentioned, they are also gratefully thanked.

Maria Wilson, President of the Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa branch of AECC is asking for more volunteers for the Torrevieja office and would also like men to come forward to help AECC as “Pink Panthers”! Similar to the Pink Ladies, which have raised many thousands of euros for AECC, men should also recognise the need to help charities such as AECC. Maria can be contacted on 633-487-595.
