Valentine Tour of Morecambe Bay with The Bay
Event Date: Wednesday, 15 February 2012
On Valentine’s Day Anne Sweeney, the Rosemere Area Fundraising Co-ordinator for Morecambe Bay, accompanied Danny Matthews, The Bay Breakfast Presenter on a Tour of some towns in the Morecambe Bay area.
Together they were visiting and talking to people in the community and to those who had put on events in support of the Rosemere Valentine’s Appeal.
It gave Anne the opportunity to inform those in the Bay area that are supported by the work of Rosemere and also to make them aware that when they go to Preston for their treatment they are actually being treated at the Rosemere Cancer Centre.
Their itinerary for the day took them to
The Anchor Home at Dalton
Crook Motor Cycles at Barrow
Co-op Funeral Services at Barrow
Eric Morecambe Home, Morecambe
And at each one of these something had been organised in support of the Valentine’s Appeal. It was a wonderful opportunity for Anne to meet so many people and to help them to put Rosemere on the map.
A big thank you to all who have supported the Valentine’s Appeal and especially for the support of Danny and The Bay for featuring Rosemere on Valentine’s Day.

Scooter-push in Blackburn
Event Date: Wednesday, 14 December 2011
Please find attached the picture from the scooter push published in the Lancashire Telegraph. They have been kind enough to let us have a copy. When you put the article on the website, please could you put that the picture was courtesy of the Lancashire Telegraph.
Carole Davies, her friends, colleagues and customers from The Clifton Arms in Blackburn held a scooter push in aid of Rosemere at the start of October 2011. All 12 scooter pushers and 7 walkers donned pink hoodies kindly donated by the Last Orders Pub in Blackburn. They set off from the Clifton Arms, travelling through Witton Park, into Pleasington before heading back into Blackburn.
After a tiring but fun 3 hours the team arrived back at The Clifton Arms for a barbecue, karaoke and raffle all in aid of Rosemere. So far the team have raised over £600 with more sponsorship due in. Carole also has a darts evening planned for early 2012 to continue their fantastic fundraising efforts.
Carole had never heard of Rosemere until one of the Clifton’s darts players Denise Burns was treated for cancer by the foundation. Carole and her team decided they would do what they could to raise the profile and awareness of Rosmere in East Lancashire and in particular Blackburn.
