Footfall fundraiser a success at Kenton's Harrow Skills Centre
STAFF and students at Kenton's Harrow Skills Centre helped raised almost £1,400 in just three days to help a little girl afford transatlantic lifesaving treatment.
Donations totalling £1,389 were collected by Harrow College for a fund set up for 7-year-old Robyn Higgins, who was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of childhood cancer called Stage 4 Neuroblastoma in May.
Her family needs more than £300,000 to take her from her home in Surrey to the United States for preventative antibody treated that is not available in this country.
All the fundraising activities at the college, which has campuses in Lowlands Road, Harrow, and Brookshill, Harrow Weald, took place between Tuesday December 15 and Thursday December 17.
Students from the Harrow Skills Centre, Kenmore Avenue, Kenton, contributed £230 by running a 5-a-side football tournament while youngsters studying beauty courses at the college's Serenity Salon raised £177 providing manicures.
Business students collected £30 from food and drinks sales and staff organised a Christmas card collection of £265.
The Robyn Higgins fund was chosen because a staff member knows someone who works with Robyn's father in the police force and she encouraged the different groups to adopt this cause as their beneficiary.
