As some of you know, I am trying to raise some funds for the Anthony Nolan Trust. They have a register of potential donors who are willing to donate bone marrow.

I am climbing Mt Aconcagua in Argentina in January 2010 in an attempt to raise £5000.

As part of my effort, the Commander of the British Forces here in the Falklands, Air Commodore Gordon Moulds (A Scot) has kindly given me a "Squadron Print" of all the aircraft that are/were flown out of Mount Pleasant Airport (Tornado F3. Hercules, VC10, Sea King and Chinook) which was signed by the former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. She signed it at the Waddington Airshow which took place on the 25 Anniversary of the Falklands conflict.
It measures 17" by 12 ".
If you're interested in bidding for it, let me know. I hope to have it sold quite soon. You can email me at dtwin@btinternet.com with your bid.
The Malvina House Hotel have kindly offered to hold a Curry Night on Tuesday 30th June 2009 to try and boost the fundraising. Tickets have gone well with over 110 sold.
I also have a formal dinner planned at Government House courtesy of the Governor Alan Huckle where 23 guests will enjoy a sumptuous meal to try and raise some funds. This takes place on 17th July. All tickets are now gone.
If you'd like to donate, please visit the justgiving website.
Speak soon. D
