Our regular followers will know that so far this year we have had a brave attempt at arranging our golf day but we were in the end defeated by the good old British weather.  In March we kept up the tradition of holding another successful Dinner and Dance raising about £2000 on the night.

Tom Cooling was defeated on points in his big charity fight on 13 June in London.  The real winner was the OCA as he has already raised over £500 for them so lets all get behind him and support his a sterling and courageous effort.  Tom has his own page at http://www.justgiving.com/Tom-Cooling

Many of you will know by now that Helen and Simon got engaged in February and the date for the wedding has been set for this summer – how exciting! Naturally we are all really looking forward to the big day and to the planned celebration in Saddleworth.

Finally a reminder that since Spring 2010 we've been supporting Ovarian Cancer Action, a small but incredible charity committed to funding research, raising awareness and giving a voice to women and the families affected by ovarian cancer. Mum was very keen that we help fund cutting edge scientific research in this area, and we hope that our contributions to OCA will make a difference. You can learn more about their great work by visiting http://www.ovarian.org.uk/

Incidentally although our original page in support of The Christie Hospital is now closed to donations, you can still visit it here http://www.justgiving.com/gmj-1 to see all the donations and lovely messages that were left there.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: OCA get your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thanks once again for your ongoing support, generosity and good work!

Much love.

Pete, Helen and Steve xxxx
