sorry everybody... been a bit busy delivering twins today......

Lucy and i have decided to have a bit of a ride out up to John o Groats before we meet Tiffany et al in Lands End... but as we dont want to miss out on the fun and frolics down there in April, we 've decided not to waste time and do it in 24 hours.....

seriously though.... both of us have experienced the traumas of Breast Cancer through both family and friends, as I am sure many of you on the board have, and we would like to do something to help the Breast Cancer Campaign.

the facts are that:-
One woman in nine in the United Kingdom will develop breast cancer during her lifetime.
Each year 41,000 women are newly diagnosed with breast cancer
On average 12,990 women die from breast cancer each year
Britain has one of the highest breast cancer death rates in the world.

so... what we want to is dedicate this ride to Breast Cancer Awareness and hope that you might donate a couple of quid, support us with help.....like buying us a tank of petrol on the way down, putting us up in bonny scotland before we leave...and even just waving at us on the way down to keep us going....

so come on chaps... get yours out for the girls.... and any other girlies who would like to join us... let me or lucy know , and we can make it a big girls night out... be it mostly on the M6 and M5 services, and the odd Little Chef...

p.s. Paul G (BHT) has started the ball rolling by pledging £20

big thanks sweetie xx
 
Stick me down for a tenner Matron......plus i still owe you a drink :)

thanks mike xx
are you going to drop it in when you are passing
or do you want me to come over and fetch it xx
 
Madge I'll contribute a £10 towards your fund. If you are in need of a collection point and banker let me know I will see to it.
 
Matron and Lucy,

Did not think this issue would be raised on this board. £25 will be donated let me know where to send it.

I have a fund in my late wife's name to focus specifically on the advancement in the care, control and cure of secondary metastises, and also to enhance the delivery of comprehensive care. Her consultant in medical oncology has offered to help identify key areas - when I can get my mind around the issues to mobilise maximum leverage. Breast Cancer Awareness as well as Cancer Research UK are worthy causes and tackle the global issues. But in my experience, over a period of three years, managing the process and the medical profession being challenged to apply their expertise in key areas such as diagnostics, cancer cell genetics and the blocking of growth processes using hormone inhibitors and cell receptor blockers allowed some progress - unfortunatly not enough. The equation is stark - primary breast cancer 90% plus cure rate, secondary metastises palliative care and only a question of when.

Forgive the lengthy background summary, but be assured that any action that combats this dreadful disease for current and future generations of women has my full support.

Wishing you every encouragement in this epic journey.

Regards
