Throughout 2010, MRL has made a commitment to support The Rockinghorse Appeal, a local charity originally set up to champion the building of the new Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital in Brighton. The charity has since branched out to support a number of different projects in the county, helping improve the lives of children in hospitals across Sussex.
Rockinghorse has continued to raise funds for additional medical equipment. With this in mind, MRL has pledged to raise the sum of £5000 specifically to provide a new incubator for the Trevor Mann Baby Unit located at the Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton.
Several members of staff are involved in fundraising activities for this cause:
Ryan Cool will ride his beast of a bicycle from London to Paris in September, covering a distance of 300km in 3 days.
