"We are thrilled to have been part of a successful campaign to help raise vital donations for a hugely important medical cause. At Lloyds TSB Middle East community is a crucial part of everything that we do. On behalf of both the DBDC and Lloyds TSB Middle East, I would like to extend a warm thank you to everyone who donated".
Commenting on behalf of the DBDC, Dr. Laila Al Shaer, Head of the Centre said:
"Our coordinated campaign with Lloyds TSB Middle East last Thursday enabled us to attract the highest number of donations that any of our mobile donation drives has seen.
