Hospital bosses in South Cheshire have launched a festive fundraising campaign for the MRI Scanner Appeal – called “Send Us Your Elfie”!
The Mid Cheshire Hospitals Charity wants people to don their best elf outfit and take a selfie, post it on social media sites, and nominate friends, family and colleagues to join in.
They are hoping using Twitter hashtags like #MCHCElfie and #TeamElfie will spread the word and help raise vital funds for a new MRI scanner at Leighton Hospital.
Charity manager Laura Riddle said: “It will definitely be a fun event to take part in!
“We’re extremely grateful for the support of the local community so far in raising money towards our MRI Scanner Appeal.
“Anyone who wants to send their ‘Elfie’ to us via email could also be placed in the ‘Elf’s Gallery’ on our website.”
Leighton Hospital’s current MRI scanner is working to full capacity between 8am to 8pm, seven days a week, with around 30 patients a day being scanned.
An additional scanner would pick up shortfall in capacity, and improve healthcare across South Cheshire.
Mid Cheshire Hospitals Charity are hoping everyone who posts an ‘Elfie’ will donate up to £10 by texting ‘ELFI12’, along with the amount they wish to donate to 70070.
