Breast Cancer Fundraiser

A very good friend of mine who lives in Australia has suffered in recent years with breast cancer. Sharon Holt has entered the 2009 Mother's Day Classic on Sunday 10th May to raise funds for breast cancer research.
By participating in the Mother's Day Classic, it allows Sharon to make a difference in the lives of those women who may be diagnosed with breast cancer both now and in the future, as all profits raised are donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, who fund research into the prevention, detection and treatment of the disease. Sharon is asking friends and relatives to consider sponsoring her participation in the 4km run by following the link to her online fundraising page and donating.

Jade Goody

Jade has been in the news a lot recently because of her well publicised imminent death. It has seen a lot of air-time in the tea room with opinion divided on the publicity she is generating and getting. I do feel sorry for her as she is a young woman whose days are very much numbered. However I also feel sorry for small children in parts of Africa who eat a spoonful of rice out of a dirty bowl - this isn't however a moneyspinner for the media so we don't so hear much about that! Do take time to visit the website of Mission Africa. [www.missionafrica.org.uk]
