Quote from Debbie Connolly
Making a positive difference really does make you pull together as a team, it’s always fun and a great bonding experience.
The vital income we are raising this year will help to fund initiatives such as screening programmes to aid early cancer diagnosis, so more lives are saved.
Any one of us could discover we have cancer at any time. If you have capacity in your business, think about how you could help the charity keep saving lives in your community.”
