FINALLY! We were able to get a photograph of some of the marvellous plankers at LB Pilates, who participated in the April Cancer Research UK Plank Challenge.

It's hard to believe now, but way back in April a team of Pilates enthusiasts, led by Lesley Bell, planked every day of the month for 2 minutes each day to raise funds for Cancer Research UK.

And we smashed it (I am proud to say I participated too)........both in terms the money raised and the "abs of steel" gained.

We raised an astounding £4020.50 all of which went to Cancer Research UK

A big, big thank-you for everyone of you who supported and sponsored us

Another BIG THANK YOU to Joe and his amazing staff at Pretty Marys Bar Foodhouse for allowing us to host our annual quiz at Pretty Marys last Thursday night.

It was the "best night's craic" and we raised lots of funds for Cancer Research UK

The bar was buzzing, and we had 16 teams competing for the first prize, which was won by Ballinderry Boots.

We had a mighty raffle and some amazing prizes all donated by local businesses and people.

Each quiz round was sponsored by local businesses, so all in all it was a true community event, and we would like to thank all those people and businesses who supported us.

We raised a grand total of £1993.00 all of which is winging its way to Cancer Research UK

Thank you everyone for your help and support.

Unfortunately our great day of fundraising for Cancer Research UK was marred when one of our volunteers had a serious fall on Moira Main Street last Saturday.

We would like to thank those kind souls who helped her and who stayed with her until the ambulance arrived - you are truly good samaritans.

Someone kindly wrapped Mary in a blanket to keep warm until the ambulance arrived, Mary's family have returned the blanket to us - so if anyone knows who the owner of the blanket is, we have it at Locale Home Sales & Lettings 85 Main Street, where it can be collected.

Thank you again and please share this post, so that we can return the blanket to its kind owner.

THANK YOU MOIRA.

Once again the people of Moira have come out to support us.
Our annual street collection happened on Saturday 18th October and we raised a magnificent £1057 all of which is going to Cancer Research UK.

We would also like to thank those local businesses who allowed us to collect outside their premises - so thank you McCartney's Of Moira, Poole's SuperValu Moira and The Fat Gherkin who kindly stepped in at the eleventh hour.

Thank you again Moira - you never let us down!
