Jordi Pitarch-Marquino has just had the adventure of a lifetime. From 27th of March 2008 he took part in the 23rd Marathon des Sables, a race covering 151 miles over 6 days in the Sahara desert.
Jordi has first-hand experience of what it means to have a close relative living with and fighting cancer until reaching the point at which science and hope are completely exhausted. By racing this marathon Jordi wants to keep alive the memory of his sister Patricia who died of lung cancer, and also help to raise important funds for AICR with which to finance new cancer treatments and hopefully save many lives around the world.

On Sunday 17th of February, Samuel Johnson arrived in Beaufort on the Ballarat to Beaufort leg of his round Australia ride, to raise $1million for cancer research.
A great turnout by the people of Beaufort to welcome Sam, even if he did have to "sing for his supper" and complete 3 challenges, to earn $1000 from the local branch of the Bendigo Bank. The final total raised for the night was around $2200.
More information about the ride can be found on the Love Your Sister website www.loveyoursister.org
If you would like to donate to this very worthy cause you can do so here www.giving.garvan.org.au/loveyoursister
The Beaufort Fire Brigade were also in attendance to help out Sam, a little later in the evening.

St Andrews University student Jethro Dowell spent his 22nd birthday on Friday (February 18th) shaving his girlfriend's hair to raise funds for AICR.
And despite a captive audience in The Union TV room, he kept a steady hand and even managed the odd one-liner as he first cut, then shaved Naomi Brown's hair.
Naomi (21) had set a target of £300 for her fund-raising effort, but with money still coming in, she looks to be on track to raise much more.
