Daniel Coyle will be climbing high on 4th-5th July 2015 to raise mountains of money for Cherry Lodge! Please sponsor him as generously as you can.
Daniel will be tackling the fabulous but physically very demanding UK Three Peaks 24 hour Challenge. This involves climbing the highest peaks in Scotland (Ben Nevis, 1344m), England (Scafell Pike, 978m) and Wales (Snowdon, 1085m) within a 24-hour time limit that also includes the drive between them. He will be accompanied by two seasoned physical challengers – Jonny Ferguson and Stephen Fruzynski – and supported logistically by Jonny’s father-in-law, Neil Brack.
On his JustGiving page, Daniel writes: ‘I am hoping to raise as much money as possible for Cherry Lodge Cancer Care who have been fantastic to my mum over the course of the last year and provide a service in the local area of Barnet that is completely dependent on donations so please sponsor me for this event. The Lodge, my mum, family and myself will be very grateful.’

Come along to St James church in East Barnet on Saturday 7th November 2015 to enjoy a rich and varied programme of clarinet music played by members of the Ionian Clarinet Choir (ICC).
The ICC was formed in 1970 and is based in Whetstone. It consists of 10 to 15 enthusiastic musicians with clarinets of all shapes and sizes, from the tiny E flat to the enormous contrabass. Together they produce a wonderful sound, well suited to a wide range of music, from classical, to big band, to jazz.
This concert is being put on to celebrate the ICC’s 45th anniversary – and all proceeds are being generously donated to Cherry Lodge to help fund our much needed information and support services for local people coping with cancer.
For information and tickets, please contact Tina on 020 8441 7000 or email tina@cherrylodgecancercare.org.uk.
UPDATE (1st January 2016): Very unfortunately, Margaret has had to pull out of this event due to an injury. She is extremely disappointed but hopes that her many generous sponsors will allow her to carry over their sponsorship over until the spring, when she plans to undertake another 10k in aid of Cherry Lodge.
Cherry Lodge chairman, Dr Margaret Clark, will be getting sponsored fundraising off to a good start in 2016 by taking part in the Start Fitness Serpentine New Year’s Day 10k. This event, held on traffic-free paths within Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, is a big annual draw for participants and spectators keen to get some fresh air and exercise after their various Christmas festivities.
As many people know, Margaret was formerly a keen Marathon runner. Unfortunately, in 2014, a knee replacement operation brought her running career to a close but it did not stifle her enthusiasm for this excellent event in the Park. Last year she walked the course – and she plans to do the same again, while hoping to raise even more money to help fund Cherry Lodge’s much needed services.
You can sponsor Margaret by adding your name and details to an event sponsorship form, available at Howard House. Alternatively, if you would prefer to donate online, please click here to access the JustGiving page set up for this event. For further information please contact Tina on 020 8441 7000 or email tina@cherrylodgecancercare.org.uk.
