Sir – I would like to thank the many people who were involved in making Against Breast Cancer Witney in the Pink so special again this year.

The shop windows all looked fantastic. Many thanks to everyone who made such a great effort with their displays. The town looked great and the atmosphere was really buzzing, thanks to all the entertainers who so willingly gave up their time. Thank you to all of them.

Thanks also to Laughing Stock for donating the balloons, which festooned Witney and to the Mayor Jim King, who had the very difficult task of judging the shop windows.

We actually raised nearly £6,000 on the day itself but as many shops and offices held events the money is still coming in.

We expect to have raised in excess of £7,000.

All money raised goes directly to fund vital research into this devastating disease with the ultimate aim of developing a vaccine against breast cancer.

My sincere and heartfelt thanks to everyone who collected and helped with the stalls, blowing up and distributing the balloons. Special thanks to the Witney Against Breast Cancer Action Group, who organised the day, gave up a lot of time and put in a tremendous amount of effort to make the day so successful.

Last, but by no means least, thank you to all the people of Witney and the surrounding areas who give us so much support and donated so generously to Against Breast Cancer.
