Thanks for that Jock, much appreciated........... 6 weeks ago I went to a farm to shoe a couple of ponies, and the daughter told me her Dad was ill, diagnosed with cancer.........Today I went back and she informed me he had died last week. leaving a wife and two children to run the farm.
I lost a sister 3 years ago to Cancer, my wife her father in 2004 and her elder sister is in remission..
Cancer research needs all the money that the public can raise if it is to get anywhere near a cure for this awful disease. The Cancer research scientists have an annual spend of £213+ million, most of it raised by public donations, so please give generously to this worthwhile cause.
If you smoke, cut down by 3 a day and the £5 you save in a week, donate to this cause.
If you drink, cut down by 2 pints and the money you save could also go to this cause.
I have yet to meet anyone not touched or know of someone, either a close friend or a relative, who has succumbed to this most dreadful of diseases, or is in remission.
I'll get off my soap box now and hope that LOC will give generously. the link is in post No1
Many thanks
