Would you race in Castletown harbour in a tin bath?

Yesterday, in aid of The Eve Appeal on the Isle of Man i attended The World Championship of the Tin Bath races in Castletown.

I am in admiration of all competitors! Volunteering to splash about in the harbour water! not my cup of tea at all. But all very amusing! Brave!

Would you do it?

Thank you to everyone who bought pins! Thanks also to Rotary who allowed us gratis entry to the festival, and kind Jessica Ball of Funny Love gift store in Douglas who inflated some balloons for us for free :))

Are you interested in being part of The Eve Appeal support and fundraising group here on the Isle of Man? Please call me on 455666, or email theeveappeal@manx.net

About The Eve Appeal

Help us in our aim to halve death rates from ovarian cancer! Each year in the UK 6,600 women are diagnosed, and 4,400 women die from the disease.
The Eve Appeal 's current focus is to raise vital funds for research into prevention, detection, treatment and care of ovarian cancer. The ambition is simple: to complete and make available an early-detection technique that will have the effect of halving present death rates from ovarian cancer.

On the Isle of Man, we are raising awareness so that the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer don't go unnoticed. It is an uncommon disease, but we have lost ladies from our community and many others have been affected, and gynae cancer is often misdiagnosed. To view the recent updates from the DOH on signs & symptoms of ovarian cancer, click here .

This weblog is in aid of raising awareness by networking for the Eve Appeal on the Isle of Man. I'm the ROCC for the Isle of Man (Regional Ovarian Care Co-Ordinator- it's a unique voluntary position- there's 65 of us throughout the British Isles) managed by Ruth Grigg, Volunteer Services Manager at Ovacome: email Ruth.Grigg@ovacome.org.uk. I'm here to represent the voice of women on the Isle of Man regarding ovarian cancer. I can also be a toothy smile to accept donations & do media photos :) All donations go to the Eve Appeal. Personally, I enjoy creating special events that help raise funds in our aim to lower death rates of ovarian cancer through early detection. If you'd like to join in on the Isle of Man, in a support group or fundraising, you can reach me on 455666.
