I am a very proud mum.

Less than one minute read time.

Yesterday our younger daughter, Claire, and a five of her friends cycled twenty-five mile on a sponsored ride for the June Hancock Mesothelioma trust.

They have raised over two thousand pounds, and the money is still coming in.  A fantastic effort from six ladies who normally get together to eat and drink and relax.  Not to be left out nine of their children, ages ranging from five to eleven joined them for stages of the ride. They were supported every step of the way (should that be every turn of the pedals?), by husbands, friends and colleagues.

My pride is tempered with sadness. “Team Meso” chose to support the charity because Claire’s father is suffering from Mesothelioma.

    Way to go Claire et al.  Sometimes raising money and awareness really helps 'us' in feeling like we are doing something useful (which we are of course) but its more like a necessity to those affected by cancer.  I am always trying to raise awareness of Brain Tumours at every oppo I can (not enough to drive my friends & family away yet) but it sure does make me feel like I am accomplishing something.

    Great amount of sponsorship money raised, you should feel VERY PROUD xx
