My niece died of Cancer called Neuro Blastoma. A very very aggressive childrens cancer. As yet there is no cure for it. It's a death sentence. Hopefully with research there may be in the future. Sue xx

I wonder what Gaynor would say.

The people who complained have obviously never had their lives touched by cancer, among family or friends. Lucky them. Speaking for the rest of us, THANK YOU Pink, the world is a better place for people like you. Carole

Hi Pink I just don't believe what I have just read!!!!!!! I would like to say a big thank you for your contagious enthusiasm for the Pink Fund. It's all down to you that I decided to do the Sahara trek. Lots of Luv & Many Hugs Jxx (xx a couple of extra ones)

Can't believe this Pink, thank you for what you have done and in the future too, well done and don't let it bother you,just wish I had your energy and committment.

Diana, What a spiteful thing to do,I hope these people realise that they are not just getting at you, by doing what they have done it could put you off fundraising, and that affects masses of people, I know you wouldn't stop because of this you are above these pathetic people,and I would just like to say to whoever did this, having lost loved one's through this awful disease no one knows what is round the corner,I am also very disappointed in GR, who would accept such a ridiculous request.Honestly it is a bitter twisted and a sick thing to do. Keep at it Diana this world needs people like you. you are polite and dedicated to what you do, People like you are very special. Denise. (((hugs)))

My husband is in remission from a rare cancer. I'd like to say a BIG thank you to everyone who has ever done anything to help in the fight against this dreadful disease in all its forms. Keep up the good work Best wishes Sue

Diana, At the risk of being removed/ deleted, I would like to say an enormous THANK YOU to you for all that you have done so far in your efforts. We are all extremely proud to know you on and off the boards. Pink people rule OK!! love Sue ( Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells)

Dianna, I have only just come onto the boards. I am horrified that anyone can be so mean spirited as to complain about your threads. You have done so much to help a good cause and to inspire others also to do good. I personally cannot see what is wrong in using the General Board for fund raising. If people don't want to contribute they do not have to. I also feel that if people complain to GR and threads are removed the authors of those threads should be entitled to know the name of the complainant. Why anyone should complain about a thank you thread is beyond me. Keep on with the training and all the good work Pink Saharas and thank you Dianna for all your endeavours. Hope you'll be feeling back in the pink soon. Rosemary(Essex)

I don't usually read postings from people with the name 'PINK' in them. Paul's brief change of name is an exception. I came to this after reading Paul's thread on the subject. Nothing against any of you, but pink is not my favourite colour, and as a relative newbie, I don't know the significance of 'Pink Sahara' . I have not ever complained to GR and cannot think that I would, certainly not without saying that I would. My father was one of 14. 4 died in infancy. 1 was run over by a horse and cart when he was 9 1 died of Parkinsons 7 including dad, died of Cancer. 1 still alive. I appreciate any one who helps cancer relief/research. THANK YOU David

Diana I echo what Rosemary has just said. What on earth's going on? You have my full support - keep smiling! Love Helen

Thank you so much for all the support you have shown me!! I really do appreciate it! And Davo - Pink Sahara is a group of people that are doing an amazing job of walking the sahara desert for Cancer Research UK in March next year!! But i am not offended that you have ignored all the pink threads.... its a choice thing and you have the right of choice!! Pink xx
