Our very first event - a Valentine's Ball - took place at the Radisson Hotel in Glasgow last Saturday night. What a fun-packed night it turned out to be!!

Our much-valued friends, patron Kaye Adams and BBC newsreader Sally Magnusson hosted the evening in superb style, and Ali Logan made sure that the auction was a massive success!

We were entertained by the fabulous Rockettes and danced the night away to Groove Station.

The incredible total raised for the Beatson Oncology Centre was in excess of £62,000.

We were overwhelmed by people's generosity, not only in monetary terms, but also with the time people afforded us before and during the event. We have so many people to be grateful to - thank you very much - we couldn't have done it without you.

There were some great photos taken by our photographer on the night - to view them please go to www.ronniesyme.com. Ronnie will donate money to the fund for every photo sold.

Mandy (or Scary as she is known to her nearest and dearest) turned fabulously forty at the weekend. She celebrated in style with a great shindig at Partick Thistle FC. A great night was had by all - well done to all for the great selection of wigs - some gorgeous, many very scary!!

Mandy asked for no birthday presents, and instead passed round a champagne bucket for donations to the fund. The very generous partygoers raised a fantastic £900!

A sincere thank you to all who donated - it is a fabulous start for our fund, and greatly appreciated. Thank you!
