On Friday (20th May) I attended the Mayor Making Ceremony for Aylesbury Town. The Lymphoma Association was one of the Mayor's chosen charities for 2010-2011, a partnership I managed.
The Mayor presented me with a cheque for £1000, but he actually raised over £2000 during the year (some money already received by the charity). I made an acceptance and thank you speech.

As a small momento of Graham's year as Mayor I presented him with 'The Mayor's Little Purple (not mauve) Book of Lymphoma Association Memories'. This related to his constant use of the work mauve rather than purple when talking about our brand! As you can see he was very touched!

Amie Hill, from Lymphoma Association, one of the Mayor’s charities for 2010-11, thanked Graham for all that he had done for the Aylesbury based charity, including dying his beard purple, skydiving and stacking shelves, and presented him with a Lymphoma Association ‘purple’ book as a light hearted memento of all that he had done for the Lymphoma Association. The other Mayor’s charity for 2010-11 was PACE.
