Big Brother 9 finalist Mikey, 33 years old from Ayrshire, missed out on being crowned the winner by 1.3% of the votes to fellow contestant Rachel, attended his local school to spend the afternoon playing Bingo! Three local accounting students organized the charity bingo event to help raise money for Ayshire Cancer Care Foundation.
Mikey, who lost his sight at the age of 23 following a haemorrhaged during an operation hosted the event in aid of the chosen charity. He spent the day calling the bingo numbers, chatting with students and set aside some time after the event to pose for pictures.
“All in all it was a very successful event and we were delighted with the amount of money raised for North Ayrshire Cancer Care, which is run entirely by volunteers and provides amazing service to cancer patients and their families.”
Maybe the success of the event will encourage Mikey and others to host and attend future charity bingo events to help raise more money to support other charities too!
