We were truly honoured to have Marilyn Burton, Service Manager of the Manchester Sickle Cell & Thalassaemia Centre, join us at the Medicare Foundation Inaugural Launch & Gala. ❤️
Marilyn, thank you for taking the time to speak and for sharing such a beautiful and encouraging message with us.
Your words were a powerful reminder of why we do what we do — taking health conversations beyond traditional settings and bringing them directly into our communities.
From our community health fairs and health checks to raising awareness around sickle cell, cancer, blood donation, heart health and wellbeing, our mission is simple: to make health information accessible, meaningful and relevant to the people who need it most.
Your encouragement to keep doing what we are doing truly meant so much to us as a Foundation. We are grateful for your support, your partnership and the important work you continue to do for the sickle cell and thalassaemia community.
Thank you, Marilyn, for being part of such a special evening and for reminding us that informed communities are healthier communities.
The journey continues — and we are only getting started. ❤️
