A group of blokes who are no strangers to a cooked breakfast, will cycle from Lands End to Bristol (approx 200 miles) over 4 days 12th to 15th May 2011.
Our Aim is to Raise £10,000 for BUST - Breast Cancer Unit Support Trust, in memory of our friend Joanne Harding who died earlier this year, aged just 37.
BUST was formed in 1991 by Frenchay Hospital patients Pamela Corrigan, Carol Thomas and Margaret Twiggs when they learned from Consultant Surgeon, Mr Simon Cawthorn that his team needed a £20,000 ultra-sound scanner. The trio raised the money within two years and their impressive achievement led to the creation of the hospital’s specialist Breast Care Centre with its One Stop Clinic.
All members of the BUST Committee are unpaid volunteers. BUST is now the major funding partner for the Frenchay Breast Care Centre and has also donated equipment to the Avon Breast Screening Service. The funds raised by BUST and its supporters enable the clinicians to buy advanced equipment before it is available through NHS funding.
The Frenchay Breast Care Centre is now widely recognised regionally and nationally as an excellent centre for Breast Care Services because of the dedication and caring attitude of its doctors, nurses and administrative staff and the work of BUST.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
Please support this very worthwhile and hardworking local charity in memory of Jo.
