Kennington Companions raise a further £125 for The Haemochromatosis Society

Dear Companions
Well done!!
Including an anonymous donation of £20,
and a couple of private sales e.g. Christmas decorations!
we have raised £125
from on-line sales of Books, CDs and clothing!
This is on top of the £400 raised last year 
at the coffee morning and table top sale.
Do please take a look at this link showing the symptoms of this genetic disorder in case you or a friend might be a sufferer...

We certainly hope not! but:
For a long time it was believed that the disorder was rare, so GH was seldom considered as a possible diagnosis. However, recent surveys of people of Northern European origin have shown a prevalence of 1 in 200 likely to be at risk of developing iron overload. GH is now recognised as being one of the most common genetic disorders.

Our new focus, until the spring weather arrives, is on
so please keep those CDs, Books, etc coming in!
