Maggie's are very excited about this event and delighted to know so many people are taking part to raise money to help build the first Maggie's Centre in London. We know those entered in this event have set themselves a hard challenge but their efforts will result in Maggie's being able to offer all those going through the challenge of a diagnosis of cancer.

We are unlike most other charities both in terms of what we offer and how we think, and Albion has captured the essence of this.

It's just a great time. It's something that people in Midland look forward to.

It was great to see so many people raising money for Maggies. The event was a huge success both in terms of raising money and awareness of Maggies Centres, this is a big boost to our bid to raise 1m to build a new centre in London.

In the past we found these fairs very successful for us. We've recruited very good candidates that have enjoyed coming over and we really enjoy being here.

You long to jump off, but you just can't work up the nerve, so you tell yourself you're content to look at the view.

One couldn't spend one's entire life waiting for life to start.

There were times, however, when a man had to make a strategic retreat to win the game.

I've been in love and it doesn't last. And when it's over, it's hell for a while. And then one discovers that life goes on. Eventually, one falls in love again. This pattern repeats itself until one is too jaded to believe in it anymore, or too old for all the upheaval.

I suppose all moms have an idea who they hope their daughters will be. Like a connect-the-dots picture where you think you know what shape it will become. But then it's the daughter who draws the lines, and she might connect the dots you didn't intend, making a whole different picture. So I've gotta trust the dots she's given me, and she's gotta trust me to draw the picture myself.

But when I close my eyes, I'm more like THIS under the surface: I'm laughing and scheming and dreaming.

That makes sense, I suppose. But for me, reading is an adventure. It makes me an armchair traveler and takes me places I shall never be able to go.

A woman could be as beautiful as she felt herself to be.
