My last Run Balmoral!

On the 27th of April 2019, I will be taking part in the Stena Drilling 10K at Run Balmoral in aid of GASTROCAN for the last time!

This will be my seventh year that I have taken part at Run Balmoral raising funds for GASTROCAN, a cause which is so close to my heart. After losing my husband Roy to oesophageal cancer in November 2012, I wanted to give something back to the people that helped him in his fight against this devastating disease. 

Unfortunately this cancer is on the increase and with only one in ten people beating this disease compared with eight in ten being diagnosed with breast cancer, GASTROCAN's research is vital!

I would be so grateful if you could spare a few coppers for this worthwhile cause.

One day we will find that elusive cure!

Thank you very much, Irene xxx

The Development Trust is hoping to attract a team of enthusiastic runners to help us beat our £4.5 million target for cancer research at the University of Aberdeen. With new research estimating that one in two of us will get cancer in our lifetime, we need your support to help us discover better ways to prevent, diagnose and treat this terrible disease. Aberdeen is aiming to save and improve countless lives by developing a world-class cancer research programme in the heart of Aberdeen. The programme will lead not only to excellent patient care but to pioneering research and high levels of participation in clinical trials which will have a global impact. However, support from donors and community fundraisers for Cancer Research through the University of Aberdeen Development Trust is absolutely vital. By taking part in Run Balmoral you can help us beat our target and make these plans a reality.To sign up please get in touch with Lynne Black by email lynne.black@abdn.ac.uk or call 01224 272087
