Fund raising efforts for the Royal Marsden's cancer campaign are going way better than I expected! People have been so generous in supporting this excellent cause. I fear I shall have to make good on my promise to ride in fancy dress! Sadly work on the my latest essay for isn't going so well. Still scrabbling around to decide what question to address, let alone how to answer it.  But the bright spot has been Mark Mills The Savage Garden which I read last night when I couldn't face anymore to do with Salman Rushdie or V S Naipaul (on offence, I was just tired and need a change of pace and topic) was truely enjoyable.

On 28th October 2007, I'll taking part in a sponsored ride to raise funds for The Royal Marsden's Cancer Campaign.  The Royal Marsden Hospital strives to develop a positive partnership with patients to help them deal with cancer. Through this, patients not only receive the latest treatments, but also rehabilitation and assistance at many levels.  We all know someone who has been affected by cancer. If you can spare a pound (or dollar) or two, please sponsor me and help us to help the Royal Marsden Hospital to help combat cancer.  You can do so online, quickly, safely and easier through my sponsorship page on justgiving (which is just like the US firstgiving website). I'm aiming to raise at least £500 towards the overall target for the sponsored ride of £15,000.  If I raise more I'll do the ride in fancy dress and promise share the photos after!
