Lambert Chapman LLP “Wear it Pink”

This week we are supporting the Wear It Pink campaign by undertaking various fundraising activities during the week. These will include cake and biscuit making which will be sold to staff and visitors (click below to be taken to the recipe of the respective days when posted), the serving of pink refreshments for a small contribution and the pinnacle of the week; a dress down event on Friday 31^stOctober where the theme of the day will be pink. with it also being Halloween who knows what might happen.

Wear it pink is the biggest and best pink day during October whixh is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This year, Breast Cancer Campaign is daring everyone in the UK to wear an item of pink on Friday 31 October and donate £2 each to the charity to help us beat breast cancer.

If you do where does your donation go?

Breast Cancer Campaign uses all wear it pink donations to fund innovative, world-class research throughout the UK to understand how breast cancer develops, leading to improved diagnosis, treatment, prevention and cure.

Breast Cancer Campaign only funds research into breast cancer and will support research at any centre of excellence in the UK and the Republic of Ireland. The charity has a particular interest in supporting innovative research and will fund the best breast cancer research in the UK and the Republic, providing that it is of the highest quality.

They currently support 112 research projects, worth over £14.5 million in 50 centres of excellence across the UK.

Thanks to the donations raised they are able to fund projects like Dr John Maher’s at Kings College London, who has developed a unique way of treating breast cancer by using the body’s own immune system.

Be breast aware

To be breast aware means becoming familiar with how your breasts look and feel. Understand how your breasts may change at different times during the month (when you are having your period) and as you get older.

• Know what is normal for you
• Look and feel
• Know what changes to look for
• Report any changes without delay
• Attend breast screening if aged 50 or over

There’s trouble in Toon….

It now appears that people power has scored a major victory on Tyneside, but the battering that the Newcastle faithful fans have taken over the last few weeks will surely continue to reverberate around St James Park long after owner Mike Ashley finds a buyer for the club and finally moves back to London after a disastrous few months at the helm.

The uncomfortable back room shenanigans, coupled with the numerous and vociferous protests in the week, has undoubtedly affected the players on the pitch, (a worrying trend given that the side were hardly full of world beaters), and the recent defeats to Hull and West Ham are clear evidence that the situation needs to be resolved as soon as possible, should the club harbour any thoughts of a top half finish. Amongst all this off the field commotion, a certain amount of empathy must be given to new signings Coloccini, Gutierrez and Xisco (a £5.75 million signing from Deportivo on deadline day) all of whom surely feel that they have been dropped into a war-zone, or at the very best a circus. Xisco, whose signing was undoubtedly the brainchild of the so called “Cockney Mafia”, will clearly be a target for the fans’ fury should his performances fail to deliver given that his move was the final straw that saw Keegan leave.

Yet, given all of the detrimental press and publicity surrounding the resignation of Keegan, the delicious irony of the whole situation is that Keegan could well come back to the club under the new ownership who will surely recognise, as Ashley clearly hasn’t, the enormous stature of the man known as The Messiah.

With so little outside interest in the Newcastle job, which has become something of a poisoned chalice in the eyes of the LMA, the only likely scenario seems to be the return of Keegan to the helm in a more authoritarian role, possibly using the financial clout of a certain Bill Gates…..dreamboat!!
