Thames Walk, 14 April
This was the second time that a team from Broadcasting Dataservices has undertaken a walk along the Thames Path to raise funds for us. The walks are in memory of one of their colleagues, Branka, who died of breast cancer just over two years ago aged only 30. The picture shows them relaxing in Marlow at the end of the walk.

London Marathon, 22 April
It was a beautiful day for spectators although our team of 14 would have preferred the temperature to be a couple of degrees cooler. First home for Against Breast Cancer was Katie Cousins with a great time of 3hr 39mins, followed closely by Jo Jordan, 3hrs 59mins. So far the team has raised over £25,000 – thank you guys. We really appreciate it. In our photo, one of our future hopefuls waits for her daddy to finish the run. Places available for next year’s run on 13th April

Inca Trail, 27 April
‘I had one of the most amazing experiences of my life doing the Peru Trek and the whole trip was exceptionally well organised’ this was Amanda’s comment when she returned from her trip in April this year. The photo shows her at Macchu Picchu. Contact us for 2008 dates for this trip.

Coast Path Walk, 28 April
In our last issue we mentioned the amazing walk planned by Martin and Lynne - 600 miles of coast path between Minehead and Swanage. Well they made it – and so did Murphy the dog, ‘I absolutely enjoyed it and am glad I did it’ was Lynne’s comment to her local paper. The two expect to have raised around £4,000, which they will split between Against Breast Cancer and the Retired Greyhound Trust.

Classic Oxfordshire Bike Ride, 13 May
It was quite a sight watching 644 intrepid cyclists set off in that cold, damp misty weather. And things didn’t improve - by midday it was raining hard but they soldiered on, un-deterred by puddles and passing cars, following either the 30 mile or 60 mile round trip from Harwell. We were so proud of them all for turning out.
Many of the participants were local – individuals, families and teams from Wallingford, Wantage, Reading and Oxford. But they also came from as far a-field as London, Sussex, Shrewsbury, Norfolk, Isle of Wight, Kent and Essex. So far they have raised a magnificent £43,000. Join us for next year’s ride on 11th May.

Charity Golf Tournament - Magnolia Park Nr Bicester, 22 June
This is 2007 so we had expected rain all day but the 21 teams playing were pleasantly surprised with the mostly dry weather, interspersed with a couple of short sharp showers. We were delighted to be joined at dinner by Colin Dexter who entertained us with his ramblings before awarding prizes to the competition winners and a trophy to the top team, The Bus Boys; Stuart Cameron, Roger Charlton and Dave Bracket. Our next tournaments are 19th October at Frilford Heath nr. Abingdon and 13 June 2008 at Magnolia Park.

The Andy Gray and Gary McAllister Golf Classic, 2 July
The Andy Gray and Gary McAllister Golf Classic was, for the third time, held for Against Breast Cancer at the beautiful Celtic Manor Resort in Newport, Wales.

The main priority of the dinner was to raise money for Against Breast Cancer – which is just what happened, with the auction alone totalling over £40,000! Everyone was incredibly kind with their bids and in return won some wonderful prizes.

The event was (also for the third time) sponsored by Westbridge Foods and Pure International, who were both extremely generous in not only providing funding for the day, but also entering teams and being present for the whole time.
