Date Posted: 05:14:19 09/04/09 Fri A group of Ayrshire bikers has raised £37,255 for the MacMillan Cancer Relief charity… by donning pink bras! The group of 90 bikers donned pink bras and vests to undertake a 450 mile sponsored ride of Scotland, dubbed the ‘Breast Way Round’. Organiser Shirley-Ann Barnes, 46, organised the event as a tribute to a friend who died of breast cancer. She said “It is an amazing amount of money to have raised. A huge thank-you to all who made this possible.” The group will be holding another fund-raiser on October 31st, in the form of a fanct dress party. Tickets are available for £3.50. Shirley-Ann is not stopping here. She is also organising a self-help group for sufferers of fibromyalgia - a chronic condition of widespread pain and profound fatigue. Shirley-Ann is a sufferer and said of the condition “I have now accepted that I have the condition, but some days are impossible and I can hardly get out of bed due to the pain and fatigue. I have learned coping strategies that mean I can manage the condition rather than it managing me. Maintaining an optimistic attitude is very important.” For details of the next fund raiser, or to get involved with either of the above, please contact Shirley-Ann on 01563 523126 or email otterburn05@aol.com [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
