19.01.2022 Ray Longmuir. Ray is a young man who unfortunately for him, acquired a lethal form of Brain Cancer while he was running his own electrical business. At diagnosis he was given 3 years to live but opted for open brain surgery, with all the risks that that entails. The operation was remarkable not only for the fact that he was awake and conversing with the surgeons, but that he insisted, after they told him that they had got all they could in the time allotted, that they keep g...oing as long as it took, to get it all. He then did all he could during recovery to aid himself. He is consequently in remission or as he puts it, the tumor is Stagnant. He is an inspiring young man in that as long as I’ve known him his attitude has been never say die and that while he is alive he will live life to the full. He has planned a motor cycle ride from the most Southern tip of Tasmania to the most Northern tip of Scotland, with a mate, to raise money for Cure For Brain Cancer in May 2019, provided the cancer does not return. He has also sponsored one of the most high profile riders in the British Super Bike Championships and Benjamin Currie will wear a helmet with the Cure For Brain Cancer colours and Ray’s Ride for Cancer emblazoned on it. Stratford Lions Club and Sale Lions Club have fallen in behind this project and we would like to make other members aware of this young man and his project. All of the costs that Ray incurs on his ride will be his own, so that all money raised will go to the Cure For Brain Cancer. See more

This has never been done before but a group of dedicated residents from Albany in WA decided that something needed to be done to stop diabetes in its tracks. A team of two motorcycles and a car will visit more than 240 Lions Clubs; journey of more than 22,000km. A spokesperson for the group said 'We believe that the return will far out way the costs.
