The Glasgow University Union was the venue for this year’s Ball which went with a real swing, in the company of our Scottish patrons Elaine C Smith and Dame Elish Angiolini.  The inclement weather did nothing to dampen spirits and a great time was had by all.  Prizes donated for the auctions and prize draw exceeded all expectations, our guests were most generous in their support and we are thrilled with the magnificent amount of money raised.  We would like to express our deep appreciation for the kindness and goodwill of all concerned.

The Moira Fund Late Summer Ball 2011, held at Staffordshire County Showground on 24 September, was yet again a great success.  The refurbished Ingestre Suite provided a beautiful setting for a most enjoyable evening – with excellent food, music and fund-raising activities.  The amount of money raised is due to the wonderful generosity of all guests and sponsors.  Thank you so much to everyone who supported the event and contributed to its third successful year.

Paul Hill has successfully completed the amazing, gruelling Zurich Ironman event for The Moira Fund.

In spite of sustaining a knee injury early in his training, Paul swam 2.4 miles, cycled 112 miles and then ran a 26 mile marathon, in 12.42 hours.  How exhausting is that?  How superb is that?  We are just amazed, Paul, and hugely grateful.  We thank you for your wonderful efforts and for all the sponsorship you raised.  Thank you.

You can see the photos of Paul at http://www.finisherpix.com/recent_events.html?&pcevent=0033 Paul’s bib number was 1619.
