We would like to thank everyone for taking part in the Women's Cancer Challenge 5K on Saturday 10thMay. We were absolutely stunned by the level of support the event received - 536 entrants and 501 finishers! This was far and away beyond what we could have imagined – sincere thanks to you all.
Unfortunately the PA system was unable to be at the start and finish, as last year, due to unforeseen circumstances – so apologies if you were unable to hear the short speeches and information. A big thank you to our special starter this year, Sophie, whose young brother Jack hasn’t been too well. Well done Sophie, you did a great job with the loud horn!
Please feedback any comments or suggestions about how we could improve the event – other than the weather, we will try and do what we can!
So many individuals and businesses gave of their time, services and expertise that we think it is only fair to thank them here - on every occasion we were met with a willingness to help and generosity on an amazing scale - thanks to you all; here goes in no particular order - The Stornoway Trust; Callum Iain Macmillan and staff at Lews Castle College; Angus Campbell Filling Station; Gaelfresh; Grillburger; Manor Park Filling Station; Hebridean Water Coolers; Morag Macdonald; Gavin Earons; Kenny Murray; Kenny Smith; Stornoway Rotary Club; Lewis branch of Cancer Research UK; The Stornoway Gazette; David Morrison and staff from Isles FM; Inverness Leisure; Dave Smith; British Red Cross; Inverness Harriers; Woody's Express Parcels; Janet Macleod and ISL staff; Stornoway Running and Athletics Club; Stornoway Golf Club; all the Stewards without whom the event would have been impossible - and anyone else who we have inadvertently forgotten - you know who you are - thanks!
The figure raisedso far is over £6,000 - if you have any sponsor money etc to collectplease pay it in directly to the charity account at the Royal Bank of Scotland - it is called 'Womens Cancer Challenge', the sort code is 83 - 27 - 12 and the account number is 00685150.
