Nice To Cannes Marathon
Andy, Jonny and Robbie raised a fantastic £1600 in order to support our information service - a huge thank you to all the runners and to all the people who sponsored them.
Charity Lunch at the Institute of Directors
What a great time we had! Over 150 members of the financial leasing world came together at the Institute of Directors to meet, eat and enjoy themselves - all in aid of Cancer Journey.
Steve Davies- the legendary snooker player kept everyone very amused with his after lunch speech - the good mood continued through the afternoon when pockets were dug deep in support of the raffle and the auction. Total raised that day was in excess of £6000 - a huge thank you to Derek and Janet Soper from IAA and the team from CHP with out whom the event would not have happened, and to everyone who attended - see you all next year.
Free Prescription charges for cancer patients in England
From 1 April 2009, cancer patients in England have been eligible for free prescriptions. All cancer patients undergoing treatment for cancer, the effects of cancer or the effects of cancer treatment can now apply for exemption certificates. The forms, which need to be signed by a GP or oncologist, are available from all GP's surgeries or oncology clinics. The certificates cover all prescriptions not just those relating to cancer.

Thank you to everyone who sponsored them.
Spring 2009 Draw
Thanks to everyone who bought tickets for our Spring Draw. With such great prizes we knew that we were onto a winner but none of us thought that we would raise over £1200!
The winning tickets were drawn at the Charity Gig on April 2nd at which the brilliant Rhythm and Blues band 'Freddie and the Donuts' played together for the first time in 25 years. It was a brilliant night which raised over £1000 for Breakthrough to Breast Cancer - our thanks go to Norma and her team for their support. Winners names are available from the Cancer Journey office on 01444 458649.
Website sponsors
We're thrilled that the BMI McIndoe Surgical Centre in East Grinstead will be sponsoring the website for another year - we really do appreciate their support. Without this kind of generosity it would be very difficult for us to carry on with our work.
