The Friends of Nigel Porter and campaigners to keep the breast cancer unit in Brighton would like to thank everyone who took part in the sponsored walk at the weekend, including passers-by who generously filled our collecting tins.

Thankfully, the weather was kind to us and we were thrilled the mayor and mayoress of Brighton and Hove showed their support by greeting all the walkers at the finish line.

We are also grateful to David Lepper MP for starting the walk, councillors from all parties for taking part, Ivor Caplin MP and Des Turner MP for their kind sponsorship and Jenny Barnard-Langston for her extra help.

Funds were raised and those who will decide the fate of Brighton's breast care unit next month were reminded how important a new unit at Rosaz House has become to the residents of Brighton and Hove.
