My story

 

On 12 October 08 I'll be abseiling down a tower which is just slightly smaller than Big Ben - all in the name of helping to build a new Beatson Cancer Research Centre in Glasgow. The Beatson has been around for a long time and is a world class centre for cancer research with several hundred scientists working at the forefront of their league. Each year I pay for half of the costs of a Research Fellow exploring stem cell leukaemia but this year these awfully bright people need a lot more money than I could dream to provide in order to house their fancy kit and very large brains in a new extension to find cures which will continue to benefit us all. Please dig deep in your pockets and match in your generousity what I am doing in my foolishness during what might just be my last day!
