We are delighted to announce that Timothy Platt has agreed to take part in the 2015 AJ Bell London Triathlon to raise money for Cherry Lodge’s valuable services for people affected by cancer.
The London Triathlon is the world’s biggest and most iconic triathlon, attracting more than 13,000 triathletes and 30,000 spectators each year. The 2015 event, taking place over the weekend of 8th-9th August, will as usual include races over a range of distances to cater for people with different levels of fitness and experience. All three stages – swimming, cycling and running – take place in and around the ExCel Exhibition Centre, Royal Victoria Dock.
Tim will be taking part in the Sprint category on Saturday 8th August. The Sprint comprises a 750m swim in the historic dock, a 20k bike ride on closed roads around London’s tourist sights, and a 5k run. The start, transitions and finish for all categories are in the Excel Exhibition Centre.
This is a physically demanding event. It is also extremely exciting to watch. Please sponsor Tim as generously as you can. You can sponsor him online using his JustGiving page, or contact Tina on 020 8441 7000 or email tina@cherrylodgecancercare.org.uk.

Come along to St James church in East Barnet on Saturday 7th November 2015 to enjoy a rich and varied programme of clarinet music played by members of the Ionian Clarinet Choir (ICC).
The ICC was formed in 1970 and is based in Whetstone. It consists of 10 to 15 enthusiastic musicians with clarinets of all shapes and sizes, from the tiny E flat to the enormous contrabass. Together they produce a wonderful sound, well suited to a wide range of music, from classical, to big band, to jazz.
This concert is being put on to celebrate the ICC’s 45th anniversary – and all proceeds are being generously donated to Cherry Lodge to help fund our much needed information and support services for local people coping with cancer.
For information and tickets, please contact Tina on 020 8441 7000 or email tina@cherrylodgecancercare.org.uk.

UPDATE (1st January 2016): Very unfortunately, Margaret has had to pull out of this event due to an injury. She is extremely disappointed but hopes that her many generous sponsors will allow her to carry over their sponsorship over until the spring, when she plans to undertake another 10k in aid of Cherry Lodge.
Cherry Lodge chairman, Dr Margaret Clark, will be getting sponsored fundraising off to a good start in 2016 by taking part in the Start Fitness Serpentine New Year’s Day 10k. This event, held on traffic-free paths within Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, is a big annual draw for participants and spectators keen to get some fresh air and exercise after their various Christmas festivities.
As many people know, Margaret was formerly a keen Marathon runner. Unfortunately, in 2014, a knee replacement operation brought her running career to a close but it did not stifle her enthusiasm for this excellent event in the Park. Last year she walked the course – and she plans to do the same again, while hoping to raise even more money to help fund Cherry Lodge’s much needed services.
You can sponsor Margaret by adding your name and details to an event sponsorship form, available at Howard House. Alternatively, if you would prefer to donate online, please click here to access the JustGiving page set up for this event. For further information please contact Tina on 020 8441 7000 or email tina@cherrylodgecancercare.org.uk.
