I had the pleasure this week of meeting a fabulous and determined woman, Anne Harwood, from La Herradura, who told me her story about how she conquered cancer. At the age of 65 she was diagnosed with liver cancer and underwent a 10-hour operation. She then spent a further three days in intensive care before she made a full recovery.

So pleased with her Doctor and the treatment she received that she promised her surgeon, Dr Chang she would run the Great Wall of China Marathon and raise money for his charity ‘The Magic Fund’ (Mastering Gastric and Intestinal Cancers) once she was fit and well. And in May 2010 she did just that!
Continuing to support the charity Anne and her husband Keith are organising their next event.

This will take place on the 10th July between 1.00pm and 6.00pm at the Mirador de Cerro Gordo, with the kind support of Alix and Kevin. Tickets will cost 10 euros and will include a welcome drink and endless tasty Mirador tapas prepared by Kevin.

There will be entertainment in the afternoon as well as an ‘Auction of Promises.’ Anne has asked local business to donate fantastic gifts of jewellery, meals in restaurants, introductory dives, boat trips, and, medical checks (MOT), which will be auctioned off in the afternoon to the highest bidder and all funds raised to go to the charity.

If you would like to reserve a table please call Anne or Keith on 958 640 479 or 628 607 041 for your tickets or alternatively you can pay on the door.
