I'm very pleased to announce that together we raised £1023.06 (no that is not a typo!) during the four hours of the coffee morning on Saturday (14th April). They were four hectic hours and I've no idea how many people attended, but clearly the generosity of everyone who did come has shone through.
Many people deserve a special mention. Top of the list is my aunt Sylvia whose idea it was in the first place to hold the coffee morning. Promoted early on as chief co-ordinator and planner she guided the planning process through to the successful day we all enjoyed.
Thanks as well to my dad for helping transport the chairs, and to Sandy Wilson and team for allowing us to use the chairs from the Community Centre. Thanks to mum, my relations and those who helped make tea, coffee and keep folks supplied with food. And of course thanks to those of you who supplied scones, buns, cakes, coffee machine, coffee, and tea.
Perhaps the biggest thanks is to those of you who so generously donated to the invaluable work of Action Cancer in such a spectacular way. Give yourselves a big pat on the back.
And of course we thank God for such a glorious day.
I may well have exceeded my personal goal of £4000 overall, but the work of Action Cancer is ongoing, and so I will press on fundraising to ensure that this challenging bike ride is well worth the effort. Let's raise the roof on the fundraising!

On 19th October 2007 I headed off with 8 others for a challenging five day bike ride in South Africa, covering 361km to raise funds for Action Cancer. The riding was fun, challenging, warm, bleak, cold, wet, windy, and an amazing experience with a fantastic bunch of people. Thank you one and all who contributed so generously to Action Cancer. Fundraising is now closed....until the next time!!
