When cancer takes someone you love, life is never the same. For 73-year-old Pat Welsh, that loss sparked a mission of hope, awareness, and colour.
For the past nine years, Pat has dyed his hair bright pink every November to raise funds and awareness for cancer support. This year marks a very special milestone: the 10th anniversary of his “Pink November” campaign.
Monday also marks the anniversary of the death of Orihuela Costa teenager Cloe, a day that was commemorated with tributes and remembrance by members of the public and many local politicians in La Florida on Sunday morning.
There is also a fitting tribute on page 2 to Andy Ormiston. Andy was a true gent who loved Spain and who worked hard over many years, raising funds for those less well off with his annual “Solidarity Calendar.” In 2009, he received the prestigious “Estrella de Europa” (Star of Europe) award from the Torrevieja municipal corporation in recognition of his efforts to promote the integration of international residents with the local Spanish community.
