Calling Island musicians for Stand Up To Cancer event

Sam Grieve from Cancer Research UK in Ryde has been in touch with details of an upcoming event and appeal. Ed


We’re holding our second annual Stand Up To Cancer fundraising event in mid-October with a focus on a day of activities in store and around Ryde on Saturday 12th October.

We’ll have live musicians playing in our window all day, children’s face painting for £1.50, a chocolate tombola and a cake sale.

Display your messages
In the week leading up to the event we’ll be filling our front window with your messages, describing why you stand up to cancer.

So pop in and fill in one of our bubbles to show your support for the event.

Cycle for Cancer
We’ll also have a stationary exercise bike in the store on Saturday as we ask you to help us see if we can cycle the distance to London and back in one day (that’s 160 miles for those of you wondering).

We also have a number of other events and sponsored activities throughout the week which we will list on our Facebook event page as more are confirmed.

How you can help
If you would like to do something sponsored to support the event please get in contact with us on 01983 566155 and we’ll help you arrange and promote your fundraiser.

If you are a musician and would like to play a 25 minute slot then please get in contact with us as soon as possible.
