Oldfjman Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Afternoon all, This weekend I'll be cycling around 150 miles, from Whitehaven to Sunderland, with another 25 riders that my wife and I have conscripted - all to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. Both Liz and I have lost our fathers to cancer in recent years, as well as other friends and relatives, and we can't thank the Macmillan Nurses enough for the help and support they've given to all cancer patients. To help them, we're doing this challenge to raise as much money for them as possible, so that they can keep on helping all of our families, friends and colleagues, through their suffering. We would greatly appreciate it if you could find it in your hearts to help this fantastic charity by making a donation (however large or small) through our Just Giving page, using the site below. Many thanks in advance and all the best to everyone. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Dean-Liz-Welburn-C2C-2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldfjman Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 Cheers Meatloaf - we feel for you. Keep your chin up. We're over £700 so far (for Liz and I - with the others riding for us and raising sponsorship themselves, we should have a half decent group amount for Macmillan) but we're hoping for a lot more now that people are finding out about our ride.

slice Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I had cancer 15 years ago, they told me I had 6 months! Treatment is horrible but still here and McMillan helped just with advice and someone to talk to, good luck with your ride, stay safe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
