Sponsorship Request
on: August 13, 2015, 02:46:13 PM
Could I please ask if any MTO members would like to help to sponsor my Daughter?

Last year my Wife Sharron was diagnosed with Breast Cancer.

Following an operation on December 12th 2014, 3 weeks of Radiotherapy treatment in March 2015 & follow up scans, she has now been given the all clear.



On September 13th, my Daughter Lorraine will be taking part in the Great North Run half marathon in aid of Cancer Research. (57,000 runners this year)!

If anyone would like to help to fight this horrific disease by sponsoring my Daughter any help would be very gratefully received.

Any donations can be made online at:

https://www.justgiving.com/lorraine-robson2015/



Thank you in advance,

Dave Robson

I'm glad your story has a (relatively ) happy ending.  I hope more people can conquer cancer.

We have a few survivors here and I'm glad they made it.  We also have a few that didn't and I miss them every day.

Figured it out... you only get PayPal if you donate in GBP :think:
