On Saturday 11th May 2019, the 50th Anniversary Sponsored Walk for the Bramcote branch of the Nottinghamshire Leukaemia Appeal will take place. Exactly 50 years ago, our parents Len and Judy Horne (Morton) started the first walk as chairman of the branch. Over this period more than £250,000 has been raised and whilst we sadly lost Dad 30 years ago, Mum has continued to play a strong supportive role.

As a celebration of this wonderful achievement, I am travelling to England, along with my partner Carin and sister Linda to take part in this event and to support our wonderful Mum, who is now 90 and will be waving us off. We will also be joined by other members of our family. My son, Chris and wife Cheryl will be walking and I will be pushing the pram of my 4 month old Grandson, Leo. We also have family from Essex and the Cayman Islands participating and Judy's Grand daughter Suzy will be running Mum around to cheer on the walkers.

It would give us all great pleasure if our friends and family could offer a small donation to the Nottinghamshire Leukaemia Appeal, which is now being managed by some lovely people, who themselves have been touched by this awful disease. Many thanks.
