22q At The Zoo 2016

22nd May 2016

As you were probably aware on Sunday 22nd May 2016 Max Appeal helped host a 22q at the Zoo worldwide day.
We held the event at 9 zoo's across the UK. Bristol, Camperdown, Chester, Dublin, Paradise, Marwell, Newquay, Twycross & Yorkshire.

Max Appeal helps subsidise costs to families at a cost of £1,250 for the zoo day. We hope that you think that it's worth the money and you get lots of enjoyment, fun and a chance to meet up with other 22q families. We hope that other visitors to the zoo on the day saw the red sea of 22q at the zoo t-shirts, and managed to raise awareness for 22q.
This year, 253 tickets were ordered, that's 58 families which included 62 children and adults affected by 22q.

It looks like you all had lots of fun.

2014 saw an even larger turnout!

Over 450 people attended zoos at Belfast, Bristol, Chester, Dudley, Edinburgh, Flamingoland,Paignton, Paradise and Marwell zoos and wildlife parks...

Maxi bear (Max Appeal mascot) made his first appearance and seemed to go down a treat judging by the way he was mobbed by very happy children at Chester zoo!

19th May 2013

Things got even bigger for Max Appeal with over 300 people attending zoos at Bristol, Chester, Edinburgh, Flamingoland, Marwell, West Midlands safari Park and Whipsnade!

Cakes were made...

People got excited getting in their cars.

There were some cracking photography skills in evidence..

Groups met up.. this is Chester zoo.

this one's Flamingoland near Scarborough.

And people were generally happy..

22nd April 2012

The event sparked an increased level of activity and so bookings were made at Whipsnade, Bristol, Chester, Edinburgh, Flamingoland... and a group met up at Scarborough beach!

There's nothing quite like a traditional English beach scene is there?

22nd May 2011

This heralded the first of the 22q At The Zoo global awareness days.

It has to be said that initially most people were a little tentative.. after all, anyone can go to the zoo any day they choose!

But this has proven to be a full on 'hit' with families around the world.
