I just donated £10 via PayPal. Sorry I couldn't offer more but going on holiday next week so trying to save a bit.

Always nice to do things for charity. I raised £250 for Epilepsy Action last year from a sponsored walk in the grounds of Chatsworth House. In 2010 I organised an event at work which involved me dressing up as Spiderman for Children In Need and we raised £370.

All the best with it Thumbs Up LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

19 year old Aaron goes for his scan results tomorrow after battling for nearly 2 years against the awful disease.
It needs to be a good result if The Christie are to continue trating him otherwise it will be palative treatment only.
The Christie do exceptional work and thats the reason for the charity event.

SWMBO had Thyroid cancer in 2004 so I feel for Aaron and his family - I hope he gets a good result Bow down

We were in pieces for a long time but eventually you pick yourself up and realise life is not a rehearsal and you make the most of it. They told us they caught it but we go for scan every December and blood test every June and we keep going forward - you don't look back Evil or Very Mad
