I would like to thank you all for all the hugely generous donations to Bowel Cancer Aoteroa. Your amazing efforts have managed to raise a total of $ 6050 dollars so far. I have been totally bowled over by all of the kind words and encouragement. Once again thank you all and give yourselves a big pat on the back. I will close the cause at the end of this week and transfer the money to the Charity so if anyone still wants to contribute please feel free ?
