I know many of you know why I disappeared last year but to those I didnt contact, it was because I lost my dad to prostate cancer, and stopped doing many things. I know many of you know about this from your very dear friend & gent, Malcolm Green, (MG) passing away just 3 months before my dad. He helped me a great deal and his family by saying on a thread on here, how shocked they were with the end being so quick. Even armed with this info, I still didnt even think it would happen when I saw him the night before. The phone call early the next morning was still unbelievable but I guess we shut these things out so we dont have to face them.
I felt I wanted to do just a very small thing now Im ready and this Bunny Fun Day came up. Appropriate for me with my hobby, but I am looking for sponsership for the Prostate Cancer Awareness Charity, as if my dad, like so many men, had gone for a check up sooner, he could have been saved. He was 60 and didnt even get to retire. It is trying to get men to go early to the Dr's that is imperative to catch this early enough and although many schemes are running, just this week another friend emailed me to say she had lost her dad just a month ago, same thing, didnt go & he was in his 50's. So a few days ago I entered for the run this week-end and Im hoping for those that know / remember me, if i can get just one more sponser, then I thank Mike for letting me post. I have several sponsers from my female friends, so come on you chaps, this is for you, your dads, your grandads even, YOU and your sons. How to sponser me thru paypal and more detail is on page 16 of my site www.harestonelops.webs.com. or if you still have my number get in touch, Thanks

Me again! I know I've been absent again but in June I lost my mum as well now so it's been a hard year. I was like stuck in headlights so to speak so my portfolio got hammered, sweet little old mum, such bad timing. So I know my fundraising is on a small scale compared to some but nevertheless I am doing the Bunny Fun Run again this year on April 1st. It is only a small event but the children love it and I take several rabbits so they can pet/learn about them and Harestonelops has even sponsered the event as well. (probably better to give direct to Prostate Cancer!) but the event is run by the rotary club so sponsership of the event and entry this year go to disabled children so excellant cause as well. I have gathered 13 people to run with me so if anyone is around on that sunday its in Caterham, Surrey. If anyone, for whatever reason, would like to help sponser me/give to Prostate Cancer Research then more details here and thank you www.harestonelops.webs.com
