Eight-year-old Lexie Lou Hay has always tried her best to help
raise money for charities and her dance school. When she found
out about our ‘Action Dash‛ event, she asked her mum, “Can I do
that to raise money for Nanny?” Her nan, Josie, sadly passed
away in 2011 to lung cancer and Lexie‛s bond with her was
incredibly special. Lexie ran her heart out,
lightning smashing the ‘Action Dash‛ obstacle course

A special shout out to all our 2018 Cut Films students.
Once again, we were blown away by the creativity of these
anti-tobacco fi lms and this year‛s competition was another
closely-fought affair. YESgroup@Westside youth centre
from Ealing scooped the overall award with their witty fi lm
‘My Relationship with Nicky‛. You can watch it
on the Cut Films YouTube channel: a class of their own!

In 2016, Conor McWeeney and Francie Smyth cycled
the 400 miles from Glasgow to Cricklewood, London in support
of Conor‛s mum who had been diagnosed with lung cancer. It
seems that challenge wasn‛t quite tough enough for these lads,
as they‛re off again, this time throwing in an additional
70 miles and cycling from Leitrim
the Unstoppable
Conor mcWeeney & The fantastic in Ireland to Cricklewood.
