General Chat

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

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

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

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)

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)

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, 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)))

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.

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)

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

I wonder what Gaynor would say.

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

Pink, i am speechless!!!! I would like to bet that cancer has touched most peoples lives, and i for one think you are doing an amazing thing. Keep up the good work , Wendy.xx

Hi pink a big ((((hug)))) for you and for those SAD people that haven't got anything better to do GETa life Howardxxx

Theres nothing else for me to say as it has all been said, this is totally crazy and so pathetic!!!! Liz

Pink, I have to add again. I am incensed! You were NOT - yes, I am shouting! - advertising! You were NOT talking about something that was in the future! You were thanking people for what they had already done! P-l-e-a-s-e be Pink again! :-) Joy

Little gem... please don't be put off by the minority - the majority here are famtastic people!! :O)

Diana what can I say that has not already been said, I am disgusted that a member of GR could stoop so low, only hope this person is never in a position where they too need help. You are doing a marvellous job in your efforts to raise money for charity, you deserve a medal for all the time and energy you put into it. I like the majority on this board want to say a BIG thank you to you. Please keep your chin up, Elizabeth

Hello Pink - l am so so sorry that some poor s-- had to do this to you, l really am (sorry for swearing), oh how l would love to know who it is and hope for their sakes that they don't need your/our help in the future. THANK YOU PINK FOR ALL THE HARD WORK MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY THAT YOU HAVE PUT INTO THIS WALK AND ALL THE OTHER THINGS YOU HAVE DONE FOR CANCER RESEARCH AND GAYNOR. Your a STAR:o)))) jude sarf wales xx
