From Jacky J My daughter Liz and I will be doing the Aviva Weekend Breakthrough to Cancer weekend walk of 60K (38 miles) in September. We have to raise £1500 each. It is for Breast Cancer research and we desperately need donations, not sponsors as we have to have the money before we are allowed to walk! Have a look at my page on the Aviva weekend site. Click on donate (no obligation!!), type in Jacky Jeffreys and you will see why I am doing it and how I am going with my sponsorship.

nudging cos I can!! xx

Good morning Diana and everyone . Just popped on to ask if you can give us an updated as to how much money The Gaynor Bear Relay has now raised? As I am hopeless at working out the Tax thingy. Keep up the good work everyone. Jenny xx

Off the top of my head it's nearly £4,000 - not all donations can claim the giftaid as I don't have all the addresses and not sure if all are tax payers! xx

Diana, as much as that? I thought around £3,400. was hoping final total could be around £4,000. I will post on relay thread asking if address's could be put on back of cheques and add that only you and I have access to the address's of course. Jenny x

Its a guestimate at the mo sweets so you could be right about it being nearer £3500 - will check later tonight!! Have to go out and earn a crust this afternoon! xx

I am nudging this as we desperately need support from you lovely people! Please see the message Pink posted for me a few messages back. Any help large or small would be greatly appreciated. Going to a good cause that is so near to all our hearts. Thank you, Jacky

Original Added by ☼☺☻Granny Lynne ☼☻&# on 06/05/2006 23:21:02 Race for Life I am not sure if I am allowed to post this here but I will do so anyway and if it gets deleted, so be it. Continuted in next message... Some of you will already know that my daughter, Jacqui, was diagnosed with a brain tumour last month. Fortunately, she is now on the road to recovery. Well, I have been watching the BBC1 prograamme, Race for Glory recently and I was so inspired by the people who took part, that I decided to have a go myself. They managed 26.2 miles; for the Race for Life, I only need do do 5km (just over 2 miles). I am almost 56 and a little (yeah, who am I kidding!) overweight. I am totally unfit for this run but I am determined to do it for my daughter, (who hopefully is now on the road to recovery) and also for my dad, Gerard Ford, who died of bowel cancer in 1997aged 71. So, what I am asking is for sponsorship for me to do the Race for Life. I hope to complete the 5km race, either running (not much chance!) or walking. There is a way of sponsoring online if people wish to use this method. If you would like to sponsor me, please send me a PM and I will give you the web addy. Thanks in advance for your (hoped for) co-operation Lynne PS: I am doing the Race for Life on 3 June (my 56th birthday). Please sponsor me, either by PM or online (which I will set up tomorroew and let you all know the addy) Off to bed now, will respond in the am. Thank you all in advance.
