"We delighted that the New Victoria Theatre, Woking is once again supporting The Stephanie Marks Diabetes Appeal. The theatre has a well earned reputation for producing excellent shows and we are looking forward to enjoying another magical performance, commented Val Marks, Fundraising Manager."
The Stephanie Marks Appeal was launched in June 2003 by Ashford & St Peter's Hospitals NHS Trust with the aim of raising awareness of diabetes and providing funding to create a specialist Resource Centre, together with a series of satellite clinics that will be established with the help of GPs who have a special interest in diabetes. The purpose is to provide first-class local accessibility to diabetes treatment, education and research, in a ground breaking 'hub and spoke' model of care. For more information please visit www.stephaniemarks.org.uk.
Stephanie Jane Marks was born at St Peter's Hospital in 1984 and died in June 2002. She was only 17. Stephanie had Type 1 diabetes for six years and sadly died as a result of complications. Friends and family describe her as vibrant, loving, caring and positive. Above all this, she epitomised optimism; to Stephanie, diabetes was merely a stumbling block that she would easily overcome in pursuit of her dream of becoming a doctor.
Everyone will benefit from this superb opportunity! Theatre goers can buy 'best available' seats which will be allocated on a first come, first served basis and The Stephanie Marks Appeal will receive £5 for every ticket sold. These charity tickets are available by ringing the Box Office on 01483 545955 please be sure to quote The Stephanie Marks Appeal. Book early as only a limited number of seats are available.
