• 0:01
  Speaker 1: So, but I did say I was going to tell
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: you about the Soul Sisters now. As you know, me
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: and missus Ferrett do like our Cyperus holidays, and over
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: the years we've got to make loads and loads of
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: friends over there, especially members of the pathwas Running Club well,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: a few weeks ago I mentioned the ladies section and
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: played Hey Soul Sister by train and sent a Joe
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: view a little two minute clip which ended up on
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the Soul Sisters Facebook page. When played it back in
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: a nice way, though it sounded like all they did
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: was me up, drink coffee and eat cake, so I
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: wanted to put that right. There is much more to
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the Pathwas Running Club and the Soul Sisters, and I
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: felt I owe it to them to explain what else
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: they do now the Soul Sisters, which they've since made
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: me an honorary member. You know, yeah, I'm going to
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: get a badge. I hope it's made up of ladies only,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: but in recent times they've accepted men into the group
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: and they are sole Misters. They meet three mornings a
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: week for a run around the pathwass region and welcome
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: new members. They are mostly expats and formed a group
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: who support each other and offer encouragement to their fellow
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: runners as they're all at different levels. Now. One member,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Jackie Maison, I hope we've got that right. Jackie or
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Jackie Mizzen, told me how much the Soul Sisters supported
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: her when she went through her breast cancer. Soul's Sisters
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: helped to organize the club's charity fundraiser called the Breast
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: of Friends. This is a round jog walk event where
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: pink is the themed color that sound familiar, and is
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: held every year in October. In fact, one year we
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: did go out in October. I think it was the
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: one of the many first one of the many times
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: that we went out. We normally go in November December,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: but we went out in October and we actually took
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: part in this event and it was great. And I
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: recently found out that over the years this event has
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: raised nearly twenty thousand euros, which is around about eighteen
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: thousand pounds now. The money goes towards buying special hospital beds.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Lympidmer sleeves, now that is interesting. They are a compression
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: sleeve for the relief and prevention of swollen upper limbs
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: due to postmastectomy radiological and chemotherapy treatments. They offer financial
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: support for taxes so that cancer patients can get to
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: their appointments, and they organize coffee and fundraising mornings for
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: cancer support and to promote the awareness of prostate cancer
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: as well as breast cancer. And they do make a
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: contribution to the local hospice. Now, of course this is
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the main thing. They do love their running and they
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: do love the camaraderie that is generated when they meet up.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: And I'm so glad I've been able to share with
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: everybody just what else they do to help others in
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the Cypress community. I want to thank Junkie Misen, Jackie
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Misen and the boss Sue Caudry for their input into
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: this report, which has been invaluable. Now we'll be back
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: in Cypress in November and we'll try and meet up
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: with the Soul Sisters for coffee and cake in the meantime.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I'm now, as I said, an honorary member, and you
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: know that it's not just people in England, it's they
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: are pats that think about others in the community. You know,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: once again we've got a group of runners that get together.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: They've also got a cycling section, a walk in section,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: and they have great fun nights, but they also do
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: a lot for local community. And if you are ever
