1000 Smiles for May · 27 May 2008

We raise money to save the lives of people affected by cancer, everywhere. From funding state-of-the-art equipment and groundbreaking research, to creating the very best patient environments, we will never stop looking for ways to save the lives of people affected by cancer.

Story

My wife May died from cancer on the 8th February this year aged 50.  The single most important thing May was doing during the last year of her life was attending the Royal Marsden Hospital to take part in their development trials of new anti cancer drugs to help others.

Between the 9th & 20th of August I am driving her much loved 1927 Austin 7 Chummy 1000 miles to raise money for the Royal Marsden Cancer Campaign.  For more details of the route I will be taking and the events which will be held on the way, you can email me at david.leigh@commercial-initiatives.com and I will send you the "1000 Smiles for May" flyer and the latest route information. 

In the meantime, as I can see from the amazing total above, I have had to revise my target upwards to £30,000 due to the actions of some very generous people(!) so please continue to give generously - the Royal Marsden Cancer Campaign needs all the help we can give them to defeat this terrible desease

With best wishes
