Volunteers and past and present committee members are the backbone of Kintyre’s only completely local cancer charity.
Ahead of a sponsored walk along Westport Beach and free afternoon tea for all walkers in Machrihanish Hall on March 16, the Mairi Semple Fund for Cancer Relief and Research has issued a statement on its year. Committee member Margaret Sinclair said: ‘It has been another busy, successful year for the fund, which has only been made possible because of the generous donations and help at our fundraisers.
‘Whether it was by baking, giving of time, a raffle prize, selling tickets, flower arranging, buying a 200 Club share, holding an event for us or by supporting someone raising funds, we thank you for helping.’
