Hook Fun Run
One of our team members took part in the 3 mile Hook "Fun Run' last Sunday. I have just noticed an interesting comment from one of our kind contributors that would lead me to think there may be a bit of a story that needs to be shared. Come on, spill the beans!
On July 27th 2007, Matthew Smith was cruelly taken from us at the age of 41. One of life's genuinely nice guys and much loved by his family and friends, Matthew left a wife, Lisa, and two children, Jake and Sophie.

Our Charity
Cancer Research UK is the world's leading independent organisation dedicated to cancer research. They support research into all aspects of cancer through the work of more than 4,250 scientists, doctors and nurses. Over the past 10 years alone, thousands of lives have been saved through earlier detection and improved treatments. But, much work remains to be done if they are to achieve their aim of beating cancer.
