Unfortunately there are loads of people out there who have spent the last couple of weeks in hospital or making memories for their families as they may not be here next Christmas. Cancer is a disease that effects us all, it is the most politically correct disease of the modern world, infecting the young, old, rich and poor alike.
Why not make one of your new year resolutions a vow to help those brave people who are facing this disease right now. Macmillan Cancer Support does just that! They are there to help the families of cancer patients as well as the patients themselves, through the toughest time of their lives.
As you all know Heather and I are trying to raise several thousands of pounds over the next few months for Macmillan Cancer Support and our emotions at present are very mixed. We have had to cancel the Dinner Dance and Auction planned for the 25th January at the Copthorne Hotel due to lack of interest, this as you can imagine was a very difficult decision but the limited tickets sold would not have even covered the costs, so we have refunded everyone who had already bought tickets, I am sorry for all of you who were looking forward to this event, I know I was.
CANCELLED
We do have TWO other events coming up and have great hopes for these as luckily the out-going costs for us are much lower, meaning nearly all the money received for these events will be going directly to Macmillan Cancer Support.
This week we have the "Battle of the Bands" at the Tunnels on the 10th January, doors open at 7pm and the show starts at 7.30pm. Tickets are £3 each available on the door. Check out which bands will be playing and when here.
The second event is the "Race Night" at the Transport Club on the 15th February, doors open at 7pm and then nights fun starts at 7.30pm. Tickets £3 each, buy your horses in advance online for £3 each too. More tickets and horses will be available on the night, as will a fun photo-booth.
We do have a couple of Fancy Dress Pub Crawls planned for the near future too, anyone who fancies joining us for a fun night in Aberdeen please get in touch by email. The last two Pub Crawls were very successful and great evenings.

Don't forget you can also sponsor us for our biggest event still to come the Trek to Machu Picchu, a 6 day trek across the Andes to this amazing Inca city. The trek begins at Cusco 11,400 ft high and ends with a climb of 3,000 steps up to the Inca city of Machu Picchu, before we start the trek back down again ( a shorter route this time).

This is our biggest challenge and therefore, over the next few weeks and months both Heather and myself will be not only raising as much money as possible for Macmillan Cancer Support before we go, but will also be pushing ourselves into the biggest fitness challenge of our lives.
Me Just Now!!!!!
