On Friday 11 June 2010, 42 Denmore Park gals & pals decided to raise money for charity. The ladies and their friends were all wearing  most the most amazingly decorated and embellished bras, which they had created themselves. They set off at 9pm from Denmore Park, Bridge of Don Aberdeen and walked to Fittie and back, a total of eight miles. Although it was a week before mid summer it was Aberdeen so the walk was a very long and cold one especially along the beach front. However despite the weather and blisters two charities benefited from the girls night-time adventure, Breast cancer care UK who recieved £2,626 and Friends of ANCHOR who recieved £2,124.

Friends of ANCHOR would like to thank the ladies who took part and to all their supporters and sponors.

Craig Wilson from Aberdeen successfully completed this year's London Marathon and raised funds for two worthy causes, the National Autistic Society (NAS) and Friends of ANCHOR. Craig chose to support Friends of ANCHOR, by donating £1,500, as his Mum has had treatment for cancer at the ANCHOR unit . Thank you and congratulations Craig what a fantastic achievement. Thank you also to everyone who sponsored Craig and thank you to Craig's support runner, Wayne Yule.
