In December last year I lost my cousin Sheryl to breast cancer at the young age of 49.
During her illness she received a great deal of help from Macmillan Cancer Support and my aunt Janet and other friends and relatives have embarked on an ambitious programme of events to raise funds for this most worthy cause.
I reproduce below the Press Statement sent out recently to promote these events. Any help or support which readers of the forum would like to give would be hugely appreciated.
Please note that raffle tickets can be obtained directly from me at phil@communitygroup.org.uk as well as through the details given below. I can receive payment through Paypal if preferred.
Many thanks.
