Whilst
we are mainly a support group we actively encourage fundraising
by our members, their friends and families. Money donated is used not
only to support our fellow sufferers but also to buy valuable pieces
of equipment for use within Bristol Breast Unit.
In 2000 Bosom Buddies benefitted from the kind support
of many local companies, their staff and of course our members.
Probably
the most courageous was Tania, who did a sponsored bungy-jump
to celebrate her 50th Birthday at Chelsea Bridge in London. Click

Lloyds TSB
Bank, who are based in Bristol, matched the money raised by
their staff on a sponsored pub-crawl in July. The final donation
was £9,000. Click on the picture to see more.
Taxi driver,
Ivan Pentland, decided to help promote us and with the help
of Pearce Sign Writing he turned his taxi into a mobile advertisement.
Our
target for this year is £50,000 - come and join us, have some
fun and help future Breast Cancer patients !
