Dad's birthday meant the arrival of my skin and blister, Ms Amanda Simpson. It's great to have her on Canadian soil, and she's started to get the MelanOpen ball rolling reaching out to her London massive.
In her words, not mine (although we are very similar), below is a wee note, and a wee ode to her superb efforts in helping us reach our NEW $10,000 target:
I am not sure if I have told you, but ma wee sister has organised a golf tournament to help raise money for the hospital my dad is currently being treated at in Toronto. As you all know, they are doing an awesome job, particularly the fact that Dad's lesions have shrunk. I am particularly proud of Susan Rice for getting off her bahookie and doing this and wanted to share with you all. Being a true Simpson her competitive spirit meant reaching the $6K target for Melanoma research in no time. Now the goal posts have shifted to a whopping $10K. Clearly playing in the tournament is not feasible for all of us on the other side of the pond BUT if you are able to throw a wee bit of coinage towards the target, it would make all of our days and Sunnybrook hospital better equipped to tackle the big C.
