War on Cancer wishes you all the best for 2012. This year is going to be hard for many people, the financial constraints on people is going to be so very difficult, I know here in the UK that unemployment is at 17 year high, the government are making severe cuts on spending and in areas that were already vulnerable before the financial crisis. Many services for the most needy are going to be closed because the government are withdrawing funding...but are going to spend millions on "trouble families"....this minority of people who live breaking the law that most of us abide by....so they are going to research and offer to improve their lives ,they will use any means they can to sort them out.....give the families on a plate what everyone else has to work really hard for. But people who live within the law that have the same social, emotional and economic problems...will as always be left to suffer and struggle on their own. Makes you question who are the fools in the UK these days???!
Cameron and his coalition government push his policy of family values down our throats at every opportunity....but they disgracefully rip apart families with all the new cuts and policies they bring in...which I might add were definitely not mentioned in the election campaign! The vulnerable, ill and most needy of our society are been left behind to struggle and it is support groups that are trying to hold it all together. Billions has be pledged abroad whether it's to help prop up European countries that have been allowed to over borrow against their GDP or other plights that have been pledged to. I for one normally wouldn't have issues to helping the less fortunate abroad....however in these very hard times it is hard to not rebel when our own are suffering and the government are putting even more pressure on us. It is a very bitter pill to swallow.....we were all brought up on the saying "charity begins at home". Here we are a rich nation who has thousands of homeless living on the streets, people been refused life-saving medicines because of cost. Someone needs to explain to me how this can be right?
We have thousands of registered charities where people are doing everything they can to raise , awareness and money to help people who need treatments, for research and to make peoples last days as comfortable as possible, to offer counselling and support to family members....the inroads to increased survival has been achieved by hardworking charities. It is sad it has to be this way...but this is life.
War on Cancer will be driving hard to reach it's set target for this years two chosen charities....Walk the Walk and Clic Sargent...I know this is going to be hard but know we will get there! War on Cancer is very lucky to have a great loyal little band of people who also believe in the cause. I will forever be thankful to you all! We are all about people involved fundraising....we want to have fun and loads of memories about the events we do to raise money....I want always for everyone to say...that was great fun...when's the next one?....if this happens War on Cancer has won :)
We will be having our first event meeting this month. I will post up when and what we have agreed to set up as soon as.
I wish to thank especially everyone who posts my blog on FB and Twitter, I know it takes on a second to do but not everyone does...I am still working on WOC page on FB and hope to load more photos from previous events this week.
I look forward to 2012 and what it can bring on a fundraising,awareness and personal level with great anticipation....I hope you will all see fit to join me and WOC on our continued journey!
So once more I thank you all for the support, hope you continue to be interested in what I've got to say, join in the events that you take a fancy too....keep posting and sharing the Blog, FB page and Twitter to help spread the positive message of what we are all about, help WOC make new friends, look at the photo gallery and check out the shop when it's back up and running.
