Story

WOW! THANK YOU for your amazing generosity.  The total amount raised did indeed put a smile on people's faces at the funeral party, and the Skin Cancer Research Fund are hugely grateful for the funds raised.  What a legacy.  The site will remain open and various fund-raising events are being organised, so do keep directing people to the site, and I will add details of events asap.  Do let me know if there are any events you want to organise or ideas for events..........Nat / Tash XX

DANNY'S MESSAGE:

Hello from heaven!

It was one of my dying wishes for all the men at my funeral to be wearing moustaches to raise a smile, lighten the tone and raise money for Malignant Melanoma Cancer research.

Malignant Melonoma cancer is deadly because there is no effective treatment at all available.  For that reason, I feel it is underfunded compared with some other charities, and urgently needs more funding.

I also wanted to put together a comedy video to make you laugh from the grave, but never had time in the end.  Instead I hope you can make each other laugh and have a great party.  So GROW NOW, with style and confidence, and get people to start donating either

1)via this web-site (please try and give before the 1st July)

2)sending a cheque to Nat made out to Skin Cancer Research Fund with your address on the back

3)You can collect  sponsorship money in cash format by using a sponsorship form Nat can give you.

All this 'putting the address of the giver' stuff on it is annoying I know put it's the only way of getting Gift Aid which means all your contributions are worth a hefty 25% more.

All money given will specifically go to Melonoma research projects.

You will be allowed to the funeral and party without a moustache, especially if you are a lady, but contributions are required!!

Send any photos mid-moustache growth and we will upload this on this website.................

See you there maybe (sort of)

love

ps if you like golf talk to Howard Mace, as I have set up a Melanoma Cancer Charity Cup.  You don't need to be good to enter, just enthusiastic
