I will respond in due course to the array of persons and businesses that have and are supporting the Charity Cycle Marathon I am undertaking, and in early March, we will be hosting a charity concert evening where we will be presenting the 4 Charities as named with monies as raised. I have packed my clothes, my cold weather equipment and cycling clothes and now await the start at 6.30am Friday morning. I am missing my wife, Trudy's birthday, our 44th anniversary and my grandson Luke's 18th. I am so fortunate they, Donna and Andrew support me.

Wednesday and Thursday I'll be cycling and raising funds within Tesco's Superstore, Bangor. So many people will again tell of personal experiences with cancer, some so sad, but others inspirational resulting in long lives after being diagnosed. Medicine has come so far, but until cancer is eradicated we must continue to research to find new cures. Together we can beat it, together we will beat it

Just completed 2 x 12 hours cycling on an indoor keep fit bike in Morrisons, Holyhead, and people are so lovely and giving. They really appreciate and recognise issues surrounding cancer; many relating both sad and happy outcomes. Looking forward now to Xmas and turkey, but also looking forward/ cannot wait to commence. Still alas waiting for decisions following Clive's accident. I so still want him to come, even just to take photos. This is a team project, Dafydd Rhys Thomas, Clive, Garry and now also Ronnie Williams who will be our back up
