Guernsey Half Marathon Run on 16th June 2013 was run by our very own Patron, Franny Benali. Franny is pictured with his lovely son Luke who also ran for us. The total sum reached nearly £1000, and thanks to all their wonderful friends who donated to make a difference. Thank again Fran & Luke x

The LV Festival the first of its kind raised an fab sum of over £1800 from the guests who came along on the 12 October from noon till midnight. The sun shone, the music was great. The wonderful Ian Christie and his friends organised the sound. It was a very special day put on by Janet & Mark Sanders and Rob, part of the 500 club raising money from the pledges mad at the ball. Soul Munkey, Malc Eyres, Ray Drury& Tim Payne, Steve & Cam, Soul Munkey, The Sweet Believers, DJ-Matt Bevis, Paul Davis, Perry Stonehill, DJ- Steve Edwards, Mix ‘n’ Match - Thanks to all involved - Amazing!

Dear Old friends Paul and Christine Dennis who have done so much for many cancer charities over the years, chose us to benefit from Paul’s 65th birthday celebrations. Rather than have presents they asked family and friends to make a donation to help us raise further funds. I hear it was a great night and the massive sum of £583.50 was rasied. I know they have pledged to support us with the Ruby Wedding celebration in September, Thank you so much to all who donated and here’s to a good year for everyone.

Thanks again to Karen who works at Ageas. The dress down day on 29th November rasied £840 & Ageas are to match it. Thanks to them and all the staff who got involved and Karen for putting us forward to benefit helping those with cancer. Mike - Now organising a Race Night for next year. You STARS…

Haydn Jones, thank you for raising money for us for completing the Rat Race on May 14th 2014. It is the largest assault course on earth. 20 miles, 200 obstacles. You are an amazing young man and we can’t thank you enough for your generous donation, and supporting the Dave Wellman Cancer trust.

Leah Sturgess completed the annual Great South Run in 1 hour and 36 minutes, a great achievement, and she raised £285 for us. The money raised will be directed to our new Southampton Cancer Immunology Centre. Leah has now become a friend and supporter and she has recently completed the 2016 GSR for us. Thank - you Leah and please pass on thanks to your sponsors.

Terri, sister of Tina was proud to hand over the cheque to Ioni on the Hamwic Chemotherapy Ward and this will go towards funding an Acute Vein Finder. Iona raises lots of money for the unit and the DWCT was happy to be able to help. Terri knows how important this machine is and hopefully this will assist when the nurses and doctors are trying to find veins which can be difficult for those having treatment. We are glad to help aleviate the stress to patients and this is truly a remarkable piece of equipment. Well done all! 8 Jan

Leah is a friend of Cheryl who herself has supported us for years. Cheryl did an amazing swim and raised £735 last year and without our supporters we would not be able to do what we do, so please remember the centre will truly make a huge difference to those living with cancer. Every penny counts and we appreciate your support. Oct 2014

The generosity raised an amazing sum to go to DWCT and CLIC Sargent. This was all in memory of Jamie Whitehouse, Sarah’s dear friend. Thinking of you Jamie and thank you for inspiring such a wonderful lady - That’s you Sarah! xxxxx
