Breast Unit tickled pink as appeal hits target
Only a year after publicly launching, the Touch of Pink appeal for Milton Keynes Breast Unit has reached its target!
Thanks to the local community raising the £80,000 needed, the hospital can now purchase a state-of-the-art digital x-ray machine to be used by the Breast Unit. The hi-tech scanner will allow surgeons to treat more people and offer safer, faster and more detailed diagnosis to hundreds of patients each year.
Since the hospital publicly launched the appeal in April 2012, kind-hearted businesses, schools and individuals across Milton Keynes have worked tirelessly to help reach the target. Breast Unit staff were instrumental to the appeal’s success, having started the fundraising with a ball and raising a staggering £11,000.
Reducing waiting times in A&E

Healthcare Charity: MK the golden touch!
The charity fundraising for Milton Keynes Hospital – Healthcare Charity: MK – has announced Olympic Gold medallist Greg Rutherford as its first patron.
Healthcare Charity: MK raises funds for items that enhance the care of patients and their families.
The long-jumping Olympian became involved with the charity after hearing about its good work from mum Tracy, who works on the Maternity Ward. Greg hopes his involvement will make a difference to the charity and help its fundraising efforts. He is also hoping to visit the hospital in May on his return to the UK.
Greg said: “I’m delighted to be the first Patron for Healthcare Charity: MK and help raise awareness of such a great, local cause. Milton Keynes Hospital is quite special to me because it plays such a key part in the community –and coming from Milton Keynes, I couldn’t think of a better cause to support.”
