Some of you may know that my girlfriend's mum lost her very brief battle against cancer last month, aged only 54. The type of cancer she contracted baffled the specialists, as they had never seen it before. Although Cancer Research UK has made great strides towards winning the fight against cancer, there is clearly still much to do. So please help with your donations on: http://www.justgiving.com/denise-whiting/ No matter how small, all your donations will help, and every penny is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Craig, thanks for making this a sticky, your generous donation, and the programme sales. We will both be taking part, and its the Relay for Life, which is a 24 hour walking event. Thumbs Up

We have a team of up to 10, and at least one member of the team must be walking round the 400metre track at all times. Our team will probably only have 4 or 5 team members, so it will be at least 6 hours walking each. But, we normally walk in at least pairs, so that you dont get bored, so you probably end up walking for about 12 hours. We take part every year, with young people from work, but have decided to do it outside of work this year, for Hannah's mum.

Wow, best of luck to you both and the rest of your team then.

Thanks to both Craig and Leslie for their generous donations, much appreciated. Anyone else wishing to donate, its not too late, every little helps, so even £1 will help make a difference.

Our little team of 5 took part in the Relay this weekend, and are all just recovering. Dehdration, a touch of sunstroke, and aches and pains all over, but it will alll be worth it. Early indications are that we are going to raise just over £1,000, but there is still much work to be done in the fight against cancer, so we will keep fundraising.

Please help, as your donation really does make a difference. Thanks.

Just a quick note. As cancer does not stop its fight against us, both myself and my girlfriend have pledged to continue our fight to help Cancer Research UK find a cure. So, please, help us in this fight, as one day you may be grateful for the work they do. Thanks, Mick.
