Mika offers concert prize for life-saving charity
Singer Mika is offering tickets and flights to one of his shows anywhere in the world to raise money for the U.K. ambulance charity which saved his sister's life.
The Love Today hitmaker has donated the prize to a raffle run by members of the Mika Fan Club (MFC) to benefit London's Air Ambulance emergency service.
A statement on his website reads, "To celebrate the 5th Birthday of
the MFC and to raise funds for the very worthy London's Air
Ambulance, Mika is offering one lucky winner a pair of tickets to
any Mika Show in the whole world!
"The prize includes flights from your home country and
accommodation for 2 people. For each £10 donation you will
receive a raffle ticket by email. Please include your MFC username
when making your donation and check the box to agree to share your
details."
In a post on his Twitter.com page, Mika adds, "London you could
claim a trip 2 sydney if you so chose. All in aid of raising money
for London's air ambulance with MFC."
London's Air Ambulance helicopter response team rescued Mika's
sister Paloma Penniman in October 2010 after she fell from a window
at her home and was impaled on a metal rail. She was cut from the
spikes, one of which had entered her abdomen, and flown to the
Royal London Hospital for emergency treatment.
