During the day two nurses from our local doctors surgery came in to offer advice and support on the issue of breast cancer to both service users and staff at our Enablement Centre.
Also showing her support of this worthy cause Angela Ainslee, wife of Whitechapel Outreach manager Russell, rode 65km a day over 7 days in Cuba to raise funds for Breast cancer Awareness.
This is quite some feat as in the words of Russ:
"Up until 3mths ago Anj struggled to cycle to the corner shop! I’m quite proud of her as she raised £600 and worked hard to get herself in shape to cover the distance in temperatures of 35c."

All the staff who took part did so independently of the Whitechapel as an organisation, simply to raise awareness for such an important issue that can effect so many of us in many different walks of life.
