400 MILE WALK IN AID OF BREAST CANCER RESEARCH

Alison died at the age of 45 in November 2003 as a result of breast cancer. During her four and a half year illness she had hoped to hold an event to raise funds for breast cancer research. Unfortunately time to do so was denied her. One of her great loves was country music, especially with an Irish flavour.

A local company, Top Country Holidays, are holding a country music short break in Letterkenny, County Donegal in May 2005. Alison's widower, George, and her sister, Dorothy, have pledged to walk the 400 miles form Letterkenny back to Thurso. They will be aided by family and friends with mobile accommodation and moral support.

Every year in the UK 40,000 women and 250 men are diagnosed with Breast Cancer. George and Dorothy are walking from Letterkenny, Donegal, to Thurso, Caithness approximately 400 miles in May 2005. Please encourage them by making their walk more worthwhile, to raise funds for the research unit at Ninewells Hospital, Dundee. They could be doing it for YOU or ME.
