Summer of Glove - please sponsor Paul Shapira @ York Hall | England | United Kingdom

Cherry Lodge Cancer Care is immensely grateful to Paul Shamplina, the driving force behind ‘Rumble with the Agents’, which on Thursday 24th May 2018 raised a fantastic £16,300 to help fund our much needed, free services for people affected by cancer.

Paul now wants to do even more for Cherry Lodge and will be entering the ring as a contestant at ‘Summer of Glove’, another evening of white collar boxing. In his words: “I want to help Cherry Lodge Cancer Care support people with all forms of cancer, and their families. They do an amazing job … I’m happy to get punched in the face for that cause.

‘Summer of Glove’ will take place on Friday 22nd June 2018 at York Hall in Bethnal Green, with doors opening at 6pm and first bell at 7.15pm. If you would like to attend the event, call 07736 613518. Tickets cost £30 stalls, £40 balcony, £50 ringside.

Danceathon by Highstone Dance Academy @ Coffee Bean Garden, The Spires
Jul 12 @ 4:00 pm – 6:30 pm
Danceathon by Highstone Dance Academy @ Coffee Bean Garden, The Spires | England | United Kingdom

Shocked by news of the burglary at Soulstice HQ, The Highstone Dance Academy is putting on a fundraising Danceathon to recoup some of the stolen money. The event, from 4pm to 6.30pm on Thursday 12th July 2018, is being held in association with the Coffee Bean coffee shop and with permission from The Spires, Barnet.

The Highstone Dance Academy is a large dance school based in Hadley Highstone, High Barnet. Dancers from the school have always opened Summer Soulstice with a dance performance and the school has a big connection with the fundraisers at Soulstice.

At the Danceathon, pupils from the Highstone Dance Academy will be doing a non stop dance marathon under the guidance of their teachers.

All proceeds of the afternoon will go to the Soulstice Crowd Funding page to replace some of the stolen £45,000+ and consequently will help Cherry Lodge Cancer Care to continue to provide its valuable cancer information and support services completely free of charge to people affected by cancer, including family members and carers. The Coffee Bean have also agreed to donate their proceeds from the event.

If you have any time to spare between 4pm and 6.30pm on Thursday 12th July, do please go along to The Spires to watch the dancers and make a donation. Donations can be made to the Highstone Dance Academy or put in the box on the counter in the Coffee Bean.

Sep 17 @ 8:00 am – 11:00 pm

Summer Soulstice is putting on its first charity Golf Day on Monday 17th September 2018 at The Shire golf course on St Albans Road, just outside Barnet. This event has been set up to help recoup funds raised for Cherry Lodge Cancer Care at this year’s very successful Summer Soulstice festival in June and then stolen in the post-festival burglary.

This is a chance to play on a fantastic Masters course, designed by the late, great Seve Ballesteros. Most of the 100 spaces for players have already been snapped up but if you would like to play, please email Giles (gilespratt10@gmail.com) as soon as possible. Places cost £75 per head; £300 per team.

Please note that Google gives an incorrect post code for The Shire: the correct post code is EN5 4RE.

Sponsor a hole: If you or your business would like to sponsor a hole (£100 each) or donate an auction prize, please email Tina or phone her on 020 8441 7000.

Kate's Channel Challenge @ Kate's local swimming pool

Kate Burdett (aka Murphy), a member of Cherry Lodge Cancer Care, has signed up for a novel fundraising challenge to thank Cherry Lodge for its ongoing support (see her story below).

During a two-week period starting on 10th October 2018 (a week later than originally planned), Kate is undertaking a ‘Channel Challenge’ involving swimming 22 miles at her local swimming pool – a distance equivalent to crossing the English Channel! Please visit Kate’s JustGiving page to sponsor her and raise funds to help Cherry Lodge Cancer Care continue its good work.

Kate’s Story

“As many of you are aware I have battled cancer and am currently winning! After lots of surgery I have what will hopefully be the last big one coming up next year and want to give something back while I’m fit and able before the big op. Cherry Lodge in Barnet is an independent cancer charity who have supported me since my initial diagnosis and continue to do so.

As a thank you I am raising money for them by completing a Channel Challenge in October which will involve swimming 22 miles over a two week period at my local pool. I hope you are able to support me and this wonderful charity!  Many thanks x”
