Alan and Jane em BARK on a cross bay walk

Our Alan with Jane and their dog called Lottie are undertaking the cross Bay walk for Cancer Care on the 20th of July.

They are raising funds for Cancercare.

Alan decided not to create a go fund thingy page as they take a slice of money raised and as CancerCare have a link on their website for donations, It seemed to be the way forward.

For those who dont know, We get an incredible amount of support and assistance from CancerCare and we would struggle without it.

So if you can chuck them a few bob it will be money well spent.

The link should take you to their donate page.

Thank you.

Tim.

    Apologies if you attempted to attend our drop in last night.
    We had been warned the primary school were having a function upstairs.
    They had been told about us, but they chose to ignore the fact and told children to leave bags and bottles in the lower hall.
    Told parents to wait in the foyer completely obstructing the door to our meeting and then marched the children through the room to be collected by parents.
    Arrogant and ignorant.

    The Birthday Girl has looked after and supported many of us for quite a while, Our Professor is asking for a little help to support her church in Morecambe. There is a Go Fund me page, if you can spare a few bob, it will be for an excellent cause.

    Big day for me.
    I am 60 ( not sure how thats happened and i will deny it) My church is actually falling down, and we run the risk of all the work we do in our local community for the children, the elderly, the homeless, the lonely, the broken, the hungry stopping. So instead of presents if you can and dont mind, woukd you donate a bit to

Our group was formed by Prostate Cancer Sufferers in the Greater Morecambe Bay  Area in response to a need for peer support for Patients, Partners and Friends.     

That was back in 2003 and we have provided that support in a variety of ways ever since.
We welcome all comers, Wherever you live and whichever hospital you attended.

Being told you have prostate cancer can be quite a shock for you and your family, Many of us find it helps to talk to others who have been there before you,
Listen to their experiences and share ours.
The realisation that it isnt JUST YOU , can be very helpful.

We hold our meetings in three locations, You are welcome to come to any or all, Which ever suits you best. 
There are no membership fees or forms to fill in.
You are not expected to say or do anything.


Our meeting locations and times.
LANCASTER:
We hold regular meetings in CancerCare, Slynedales, on the second Tuesday of the month.  7pm until 9pm
This is our Primary venue and we try to have speakers each meeting,
Mostly medical related to keep members informed about prostate cancer, its treatment, research projects and related matters all highly experienced and knowledgeable medical professionals. 
We also invite non medical speakers, they have come from a wide range of backgrounds and have included a cold war pilot and a High Sheriff.
We like to meet at 7pm for a chance to grab a brew and a biscuit and chat to any
new comers before getting sat down and ready for our speaker.
There will be odd times when we dont have a speaker, on those occasions we talk and socialise.
What three words location  ///front.nuns.wanted

KENDAL:
Also courtesy of our friends at CancerCare, on Blackhall Road, across from the multi storey and bus station. We meet here on the first Friday of the month at 10am until 12:00 Noon.
This takes the form of a drop in, Come for a chat a brew and a biscuit or two.
What three words location  ///proof.energy.apples

BENTHAM:
We have recently started meeting in Bentham Town Hall on the Second Thursday of the month.
The thinking behind this location is that Bentham is the most easterly point of the catchement area, possibly easier to get to for some. Whether  it is travelling or simply the day of the week. 
7:30pm til 8:30pm.  All welcome, again, it doesnt matter where you live, you will be welcome .
The other reason is that I live there, so a bit selfish.

Come along to any of our meetings to find out more and feel free to bring a partner, Family member or friend.  You’re all welcome.
