LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwire - March 16, 2010) - Wink Bingo is a hugely popular online website and when it has winners it is news. Recently the news was about more than just the amount of the prize but of the selflessness shown by a winner who donated some of the £25,000 to the John Radcliffe Hospital. The lucky winner, Myra Carbin donated the money to the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit of the hospital so they could purchase equipment vital to the department and continue their life-saving work with babies and young children who face difficulties and require their expertise. The money was a token to personally say thank you for the tremendous efforts by the team when the staff at John Radcliffe saved her four week old daughter's life with essential bypass surgery.

Resident in the Northampton area, Mrs Carbin was so appreciative of her good fortune both in monetary terms and in the excellent work done at the John Radcliffe she decided to share it and her big heart made sure the money went to the area that deals with heart surgery. On hearing of their player's big heart, Wink Bingo were so touched they matched the donation much to the delight and appreciation of the team at the hospital. Penny Hambridge, the Children's Development Officer at the John Radcliffe enthused about the generosity of Wink Bingo saying that the donations allow them to purchase equipment otherwise unavailable on an NHS budget alone.

The John Radcliffe has currently suspended paediatric heart operations as their monitoring systems for tracking patient progress have shown that four children have recently died within 30 days of cardiac surgery during a three-and-a-half month period. This in itself need not be alarming but it does reinforce the need for donations form well-wishers like Myra Carbin and Wink Bingo for equipment and after care that might possibly prevent unsuccessful outcomes with resulting fatalities.
