St Mark's Mosaic Appeal heads for £120,000 mark

St Mark's Mosaic is the first Mosaic appeal. Launched in April last year it has now on £ 117,000 and donations are flowing in steadily.

The St Mark's mosaic appeal was launched in April last year at an event where donors bid up the £1,800 for the first tile.  As more people get to hear of the appeal, its popularity is growing and this month's funds raised by the appeal passed the £117,000 mark.

St Mark's Hospital in Harrow is one of the best hospitals in the world for the treatment of diseases of the bowel. They are specialists in the causes and treatment of diseases such as Colitis, Crohn's and Bowel Cancer and they treat patients who have been referred to them from all over the country.

St Mark's Hospital is doing more than anyone to extend the understanding of diseases of the bowel, and the treatment of people affected by them and every year medical practitioners from around the world flock to St Mark's Hospital to hear about their groundbreaking work. St Mark's Hospital receives funding from the NHS, but the hospital's research and education programme, the very things that have made St Mark's Hospital great, cannot be funded from the public purse. The cost of this work, which is affecting millions, is borne by the St Mark's Hospital Foundation.

The Foundation is faced each year with having to raise funds for their ongoing research programme and the St Mark's Foundation Mosaic Appeal is making a valuable contribution.
