Pink Wishes Member Lisa Connell - who has an inoperable brain tumour, has been chosen to have a make over by

Sue Moxley The Sun's beauty editor. Pictures will be available soon.

Pink Wishes Member Ruth Tessdale sent us the following.

We are busy digging up the garden to start growing vegetables as we are fed up with the prices and lack of freshness

in the veg we buy. The good bit is there will be very little grass to cut.

We have offered Ruth to review Grow Your Own Groceries by Linda Gray

We will let you know how she gets on!

Lin Diaby at her Wedding, you may remember Lin rowed the Atlantic with Rachel to raise money for Breast Cancer Care.

Pink Wishes Member Kate raises over £11000 in Rave for Life!

Amazing!

For all of you who don't know by now, I was diagnosed with Grade 3 Breast Cancer back in November 2008.

Since then I have had my Tumour and Lymph Nodes removed and I am currently undergoing the FEC Combination of

Chemotherapy, 6 sessions of treatment with 3 weeks off in between each session, I'll then have a month off to "Recover"

before starting 4 -6 weeks of Radiation Therapy. When the Race for Life is on, I should be half way through my Radiation

Treatment, if I'm not fit enough to run/walk the 5K, I have a great Mum and my 3 Best friends who have agreed to push me

around the course fund raising for themselves as well. I never thought I would get Cancer, you never think its going to be you.

I'm sure we all know someone who had been affected by this terrible illness, I have several friends who are either undergoing

treatment as we speak or bear the scars of past treatments.

Pink Wishes received the most beautiful Pink Bouquet from Member Ann Tofari

WE really were very touched (and there were tears!)

Thank you Lynn xxx

Pink Wishes Member Lisa Connell from Rent A Date For Charity

Member Ann Tofari, posted a wish on the website to take her auntie June (who is unwell)

 back to Bournemouth to see the sea. Pink Wishes sent out a request, and were contacted

by The Royal Bath Hotel Bournemouth who offered June & Ann a two nigh stay. We were also contacted by one of our Business Members Live Luggage who sent June a beautiful beige

leather overnight bag.

Below is Ann' blog

We arrived back from The Royal Bath (Bournemouth) at lunchtime today after having a fantastic

time (thank you, thank you, thank you). Sadly, we didn't get to meet Dominic, but we met

Charlotte who was lovely.

The hotel staff were wonderful. We left a thank you card with Charlotte for Dominic and asked

him to thank everybody at the hotel on our behalf. The room was perfect, June loved the sea view.

In fact, she loved to just lie on her bed with the curtains open looking out at the sea.

The gardens were beautiful, June loved to look at them from the balcony too. June insisted on

getting a cab into the town centre yesterday (Sunday), but we didn't stay too long, it was nice to

have a look around though. The food at the hotel was superb. Because of her illness,

June has lost an awful amount of weight (nearly 3 stone in a short amount of time, I think I told you on the phone that she is now on

steroids and anti-sickness tablets), June called me this afternoon to tell me that she has put on 1/2 stone!!!! I think it's safe to say

that June ate well at the hotel. I cannot thank you all at Pink Wishes (and The Royal Bath and Live Luggage) enough for making

June's wish come true. You are all such special people.

Lots of love and hugs,
Ann & June x

June sadly passed away in August, our thoughts are with her family at this very sad time.
