It was for £968-00 to Cancer Research UK, which was raised from Gaynor's funeral flowers donations, so Gaynor raised £1373.00 (including online donations but excluding giftaid). Pink xx

with your board name at the moment, it makes it sound like that was a bad thing jess

That's marvellous, Diana! Many congrats and well done! How can you be 'Down in the Dumps' after that? You should be singing from the rooftops! :>] CB >|< X

something disturbing has happened this morning, hence me not changing my name - I may disclose later but at present I am keeping stum until facts are received. Plus it was very sad writing that cheque and remembering why it was raised! :O(

It's great that you could write a cheque for that amount. Sorry you're down. xx

Morning Diana, Just what do you think Gaynor would say about your board name? I never knew her, only came on board the night she died but from what I read she was a very positive person who faced her future with courage & determination. I don't think she would be impressed with her friend being negative when she should be proud of herself & others for raising so much cash. Cheer up, thats an order Vivienne

Diana, sorry you are feeling down, hope you will soon be feeling positive again. Wouldn't Gaynor be thrilled to know how big a cheque was written because of her? But of course you will have felt sad writing it. You must miss her terribly. I am sure she would be so proud of you. Hope you feel better again soon. Love Ann Glos

Ok name changed as fair points made. Yeah Gaynor would have been right pleased with herself and yes I miss her as I am sure many others do too! Pink xx

Back to who I was when I met my mad woman now!! :O)

my hat of to you well done for all the hard work ,, your achievement .is wonderful , have emailed you ,, gaynor would be so proud of you :)

Diana I can understand why you felt down about such a wonderful achievement, a bittersweet moment for you. We are all so proud of what you and Gaynor have done, and its a tribute to her spirit that you have kept going with the Pink Fund despite the natural sadness that you have been dealing with. Be sad when you need to, but also be very proud of everything you have done so far. Yvette

Thats great Diana, now we have to do something to cheer up Bec. Any ideas? Vivienne

yes the mad woman should be congratulated!! She has done so much for the fund... in fact she is the essense of the fund because without her it wouldn't exist!!

It is hard to lose a friend love. BUT, she was a SPECIAL friend and you are making sure the whole world remembers her. That is some Epitaph darling. What an honour you have paid Gaynor. Cheer up, what ever has happened. Deanna (((((((X))))))))))))

Deanna - thanks for that but it was GAYNOR that paid me the honour of being able to use her name to fundraise, she's achieved much more than I would've done without her!!

Diana, As I have stated many times Gaynor was an absolute inspiration to me but so are you. You give your time and energy to raising money for a wonderful cause in the name of a wonderful person. In my eyes you are both STARS. Jean x.

Thanks Jean.... I hate the thought that some people think that I think I deserve a halo for what I do.... I do it cos its fun and for no other reason really!! I really have met some wonderful people doing fundraising so it's bought more to me than I give to it!! :O)

No Val ,Gaynor IS so proud of pink,as most of us are ,and i too hope you are now starting to cheer up' Pink.Fred.PffT&A&G&G&S.

Diana, Congratulations - you have done a marvellous thing for our friend Gaynor. Draw strength from the knowledge that you've successfully carried out this mission for her - and take heart that so many people are behind you in your further works. We love you very much. Jane x
