Thanks to all the staff of the Times and Citizen for the cheque for £50 presented to us at our December meeting. Instead of buying each other Christmas cards they generously donated the money instead to Bosom Pals. |

TOTAL RAISED BY UNIPATH REACHES OVER £10K |

Unipath have done it again!! The 2008 Pink Fayre held in October during Breast Cancer Awareness month raised a magnificent £4,019.54, surpassing last year’s amount raised. This brings the total amount raised by Unipath for Bosom Pals since they started sponsoring us in September 2007 to £10,308.46. In those early days we never expected that the sponsorship would reach such a height. Our thanks go to everyone involved and in particular to the Inverness Cares Team who organise and plan all the fund raising events, the management team at Unipath and most importantly the staff of Unipath for their generosity and support. Thanks to all your efforts our bank balance is very healthy at the moment and will ensure that Bosom Pals will be financially secure for many years to come. |

Sadly, Mary MacKay, one of our Committee passed away in Moggerhanger in September 2008 after a brave and courageous fight.
Mary joined the Committee in 2004 and organised our speakers and visits and contributed to the smooth running of the Group right up until the end. She will be greatly missed by everyone in the Group. Our President June said these words at her service: "I wanted to say a few words about our Mary - the last time I phoned her was about 6 or 7 days before she went into Hoggerhanger. |

Unipath have done it again! They organised their 2nd “Pink Fayre” from Wednesday 29 through to Friday 31st October. The 3-day event concluded with a “Grand Draw” and “Wear it Pink Day”. The event was organised by the Sports & Social Committee and supported by all the Unipath staff. "Guess the weight of the Cake” again made by Kim, was the centre of attention with a wonderfully iced Bosom Pals logo, see picture. What a talented lady.
Friday was a fun day, with lots of people getting into the spirit of the occasion and “in the pink”. All proceeds from the “Pink Fayre” will be matched £ for £ by Inverness Medical and donated to Bosom Pals. Thanks to: - All the local companies for their donations and support
- To the Inverness Cares Team for all the hard work and organisation arranging the “Pink Fayre”.
- A special thank you to Beccy, Lynne, Pauline and Emma
- The very generous staff at Unipath who made the event a success.
The sponsorship given by Unipath over the last year has been extraordinary and has made such a big difference to our Charity. |
