Background:
Our family and friends plan a series of fundraising events in aid of The Paul O'Gorman Leukaemia Research Centre at Gartnavel Hospital Glasgow. http://www.gla.ac.uk/about/givingtoglasgow/paulogormancentre/
All donations no matter how small will go a long way in helping to expand this exceptional facility and let their research continue - with the overall aim being to find new treatments and potential cures for all blood cancers. So far we have had various events throughout 2011 and 2012 including a golf event, a childrens fun day and sponsored walk over the Erskine Bridge , groups of runners taking part in the Ladies 10k , a Curry Karaoke night , a Fundraiser dance and a ladies night.
