Soulstice Big Payback 2016 @ The Black Horse
Aug 28 @ 4:00 pm – 11:45 pm
Soulstice Big Payback 2016 @ The Black Horse | Barnet | England | United Kingdom

For what is sure to be a memorable experience, you are invited to join members of the Soulstice crew at the Black Horse pub on Bank Holiday Sunday, 28th August 2016. As well as eight hours of soulful grooves, funky jams and holiday beats, there will be a barbecue and a wide choice of great beers and wines. Please see the Summer Soulstice website for more information.

As in previous years, this will be a very important occasion for Cherry Lodge Cancer Care as the Soulstice crew will be handing us another huge cheque. Summer Soulstice is by far the biggest third-party supporter of Cherry Lodge and the £40,000 raised for us at Summer Soulstice 10 on 25th June 2016 will take their total donation since 2007 to a tremendous and very much appreciated £215,000! The cheque handover is scheduled to take place at 6.30pm.

Alex Woods’ Thames Path Walk – in progress @ Thames Path
Sep 9 – Sep 10 all-day
Alex Woods' Thames Path Walk – in progress @ Thames Path  | Kemsing | United Kingdom

From 3rd to 10th September 2016, Alex Woods is walking the Thames Path to raise money for Cherry Lodge Cancer Care. He will be covering between 20 and 26 miles each day – a total of 184 miles – from the source of the Thames in Gloucestershire to the Thames Barrier. This is an ambitious challenge and is Alex’s way of saying thank you to Cherry Lodge for the support received during the illness of his wife, Anne Marie.

Sponsor him

We are asking you to support Alex as generously as you can, in person, via Cherry Lodge (contact Tina or Nisha) or via Alex’s JustGiving page. Please take a few moments to read Alex’s story:

“In August 2015 our world was turned upside down when my darling wife – Ann-Marie – was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer, aged only 32. To say that this past year has been tough for her, and for all of us, would be a massive understatement. Coming on for a year later, and Ann-Marie has finally finished the gruelling schedule of treatment at the Royal Marsden – five months of chemotherapy and a month of daily radiotherapy – and is back at work. I am so proud of her…

To make it to this stage, we have had to tap into reserves we didn’t even know we had, hold on hard to each other and to the boys, and sometimes rely heavily on family and friends. We were also fortunate enough to be able to call on Cherry Lodge Cancer Care for additional support; it is a truly amazing place that we have been extremely lucky to live only walking distance away from.”

Join him

Alex is inviting family members, friends and anyone else wishing to support Cherry Lodge to join him on any or all of his walk. He is especially keen to gather together a good crowd on the last day, when he will walk from Putney to the Thames Barrier (where he is already looking forward to enjoying a well-earned beer!).

If you would like more information, please get in touch with him via tina@cherrylodgecancercare.org.uk.

His planned itinerary is:

Day 1 – Sat 3rd Sept – Source at Trewsbury Mead to Lechlade (23 miles)

Day 2 – Sun 4th Sept – Lechlade to Swinford (26 miles)

Day 3 – Mon 5th Sept – Swinford to Dorchester (22 miles)

On Sunday 30th October 2016, Steven Hargreaves is taking part in the M2N marathon to raise money to help fund Cherry Lodge Cancer Care’s information and support services for people affected by cancer.

This is a brand new marathon event developed from the original Morpeth to Newcastle road race. The runners will set out from the historic Northumberland market town of Morpeth to follow a specially selected route through Cramlington, Blyth, Whitley Bay, Cullercoats and North Shields. The finish line will be on Newcastle’s iconic Quayside, where large crowds are expected to celebrate the runners’ achievement.

Steve, who is doing his first marathon to mark turning 40, is fundraising money for us because of his friendship with Alex and Ann Marie. Alex recently completed the Thames Path Walk for us in an extremely successful fundraising effort to thank Cherry Lodge for our support during Ann-Marie’s illness.

Please help Steven to help Cherry Lodge Cancer Care by supporting him as generously as you can. You can donate safely and easily via his JustGiving page. Alternatively, contact Stephen on shargreaves1@hotmail.co.uk or email tina@cherrylodgecancercare.org.uk.
