This year Tom Vaz, his son Christopher together with Des Donohoe have decided to don sack cloth and ashes to make a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in north western Spain. The purpose, like their previous adventure to the Picos mountains, is to raise funds for the South East Cancer Help Centre, based at Purley.

The Centre does a fantastic job of supporting patients and carers at the most difficult times of their lives and here I speak from personal experience.

All of the Centre's funding comes from donations and to help them continue to make a real difference we need you to sponsor us.
