In aid of The Alexandra Unit, Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary

Dick Bruce died last year after a tough and difficult fight with cancer. Much of his last few months were spent at the Alexandra Unit in Dumfries. The whole family wanted to pay tribute to the Unit for the understanding, sensitive care and skilled attention which made this time so much easier for everyone.

The Blazing Saddles (Joe and Rob) are setting off from John O'Groats on the 24th May 2009. The aim is to cover approximately 900 miles and to end up at Land's End in 10 days… with a little help from the rest of the family.

Whilst the thought of them in lycra might not appeal to the vast majority of you, they are doing this for a good cause… so please give generously as monies raised will ensure the unit will be able to continue to provide support for the next family affected by cancer….

Please visit our fundraising page to pledge your sponsorship for the challenge.

Joe and Rob would welcome any support from friends and family along the route - don't turn up without bananas! Please let us know.

Thank you to our sponsors:
