A message from Tony and Kirsty Wade

The Womens Cancer Challenge 2010 raised the fantastic total of £10,410, It's unbelievable how generous people have been – the total is almost identical to the sum raised locally in 2009 which in this economic climate is amazing, so we want to say a big thank you to everyone who got involved. Without everyone's help and generosity, the event would be impossible. Thank you so much for contributing so generously to such a great local cause, which is near to so many of our hearts.

On our 2010 Women's Cancer Challenge thanks list are: The Stornoway Trust; Callum Iain Macmillan and Lews Castle College; Hebridean Water Coolers; Morag Macdonald; Kenny John Macleod; Lewis branch of Cancer Research UK; The Stornoway Gazette; David Morrison; Donnie Saunders and the staff from Isles FM; Red Cross; ISL staff; Stornoway Running Club and Athletics Club; Stornoway Golf Club, and all the Stewards – and anyone else who we may have inadvertently forgotten, you know who you are – a huge thanks!

We hope to make the 2011 event even bigger and better – watch The Stornoway Gazette for entry information early in the New Year!

The Lunar Walk

Highlighting breast cancer, the pink parade hit the town's town's streets earlier this year and – complete with some especially decorated bras – strolled their way to raising £1,688, which organiser Eilidh Thompson was pleased to donate to the Lewis branch of Cancer Research UK.

Don't forget, if you wish to pay in any sponsor money, the account is ‘Women’s Cancer Challenge’ at the Royal Bank of Scotland. Sort code is 83-27-12 and account number is 00685150 

Thanks again
