I AM writing to say a big thank to all your readers who took part in this year's Fruity Friday.

While we do not yet have final figures on how much was raised, it is already clear that this year's Fruity Friday was the most successful in the history of the event.

At World Cancer Research Fund, we are so grateful to everyone in the local area who took part, whether it was through organising an event or just by wearing yellow on the day to support cancer prevention.

As well as helping to promote the message about the importance of a healthy lifestyle, the money raised will help us continue with our research and education work.

And if you want to make a donation or find out more information, it is not too late. You can call 020 7343 4205 or visit www.wcrf-uk.org Teresa Nightingale Head of Fundraising World Cancer Research Fund Harley Street London
