Information is included only on donors who have given us their express permission to do so. Last issue we told you about how our Beatson Pebble Appeal supporters were going cycling crazy. This issue we show you how they are really testing their bravery by taking part in sky dives! Betty McKean from Stirling and Yvonne Macdougall from Glasgow both have very personal reasons for supporting the Appeal. Yvonne took part in a sky dive in New Zealand in memory of her mum. She says: вЂњDo what you want; go where you want; do everything! was one of my mumвЂ™s sayings; she loved life and was fearless. Over a 10 year period my mum received treatment and care at the Beatson Oncology Centre so it seemed fitting to raise funds for The Pebble Appeal. During a trip with my dad to visit my sister and new nephew in New Zealand I did a skydive over the Abel Tazman from a height of 16,500 feet.В What an experience!В My pledges raised ВЈ1,325 for the Appeal.В I know if my mum was here, not only would she have done the jump too, she would have been first out of the planeвЂќ. Betty McKean did her sky dive in memory of her husband, Gus, who died in 2008. Her jump from 12,000 feet was cancelled three times because of bad weather before she managed to finally make it out of the plane! Betty raised over ВЈ2,000 for the Appeal and said вЂњI never ever dreamt IвЂ™d be able to do this jump. The money raised wonвЂ™t help my husband but it may hopefully help someone else in the futureвЂќ. Thanks to both of them for their enthusiasm and bravery! For more about the Beatson Pebble Appeal and how you can become involved see inside. Betty McKean Construction company Mansell have been appointed to build the translational research centre. Their Regional Director forВ Central Scotland, Callum Leslie stated; вЂњMansell are delighted to be appointed to construct the Beatson TRC, it is especially pleasing to be involved in a project that ultimately will provide huge benefits in the treatment of cancer, something that as a Company based in the West of Scotland we can identify with on a personal level. While constructing such aВ prestigious research facility we aspire to create a building that in terms of quality meets world class standards, is delivered on time and within budget all the while ensuring that our impact on the existing campus is kept to a minimum. The Project Manager for the Beatson TRC will be Steve McRoberts, SteveвЂ™s recent success include the completion of the Matthew Hay research facility for the University of Aberdeen. The team will also be augmented during the fit out stages by Steve Williams and George Knight both of who were responsible for the delivery of the University of EdinburghвЂ™s world class Clinical Research Imaging CentreвЂќ.В As work begins on site, the appeal continues to move towards the target. With ВЈ8.3 million of the ВЈ10 million in place the Beatson Pebble Appeal team are hopeful that all funds will be in raised by the time construction is complete in autumn 2012 and areВ urging alumni, friends and members of the general public to support the appeal at this vital time.

ChairmanвЂ™s Introduction In Focus вЂ“ Scholarships Fund Paul OвЂ™Gorman Leukaemia Research Centre Challenges Supporters of the Paul OвЂ™Gorman Leukaemia Research Centre were asked to take part in the CentreвЂ™s New Year Challenges earlier this year. Challengers could choose to walk, swim, run or cycle lengths of famous UK routes but in as many sessions as they needed and in whatever location suited them best. Entrants chose from 97 miles of the West Highland Way, 22 miles of the Channel, 212 miles from Coast to Coast or 874 miles from John OвЂ™Groats to LandвЂ™s End and could complete the routes in 8 weeks or 12 weeks depending on their fitness levels. As you will read in this edition of the Newsletter, we have reached a crucial stage in the Beatson Pebble Appeal fundraising campaign. The building work has started and we anticipate completion next autumn, but we still have ВЈ1.7 million to raise. As a result, the team have put together a range of fundraising events and we continue to seek fresh donations from trusts, foundations, businesses and individuals. I am sure you will find this newsletter interesting and I urge you particularly to read about Professor DominiczakвЂ™s role as Head of the School of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences and how she is preparing the College for the challenges ahead. Her article reveals the extent to which you and others as donors to the medical and veterinary building projects have played a vital role in the provision of state-of-the-art facilities for undergraduate and postgraduate education in the medical and veterinary fields. The Wolfson building, for example, has received national accolades for design and our medical undergraduate courses have been recognised for their excellence too. Significant improvements in the environments for research work, for example in heart disease, stroke and various aspects of cancer from basic sciences to clinical trials provide superb facilities for our postgraduate research students. There can be no doubt that the recently established College of Medical Veterinary and Life Sciences at the University of Glasgow is proving highly attractive to undergraduate and postgraduate students and producing world class results. Please help us to complete the Beatson Pebble Appeal to bring yet more expertise to Glasgow to help to conquer cancer. Gordon Galloway decided to take up the challenge of cycling the length of John OвЂ™Groats to LandвЂ™s End in 12 weeks. Gordon is a 66 year old retired civil servant who was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) inВ 2005 and is an ongoing patient at the Royal Alexandra Hospital. Gordon Galloway The Scholarships Fund was launched in 2007. Since then, over ВЈ3m has been raised enabling the University to establish a number of new undergraduate, postgraduate and travel scholarships, including several in the School of Medicine. Below are some of the different types of scholarships donors can support. The University awards at least 50 undergraduate Talent Scholarships each year to support students of excellent academic ability who may be prevented from taking their place at university due to financial hardship. Each scholarship is worth ВЈ1,000 per annum for the duration of the studentвЂ™s course (typically five years). The Glasgow Excellence Awards enable the University to offer partially funded and fully funded postgraduate scholarships to attract the best students internationally. These scholarships can range from ВЈ2,000 per annum, as a contribution towards a studentвЂ™s fees, to ВЈ18,000 per annum, to provide a full scholarship which covers tuition fees and living expenses. Precious Osadolor, a 3rd year Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery student says вЂњIвЂ™ve experienced first-hand the University of GlasgowвЂ™s commitment to invest in its students. As aВ third year medical student, I have been receiving a Talent Scholarship since I started at Glasgow.В The scholarship has made a huge difference to my life. It goes a long way to paying the bills, buying university materials and supporting my younger brother who is at college. Every extra pound helps, it really makes a differenceвЂќ. Lastly, Travel Scholarships and Scholarships for Exchange Students provide students with the opportunity to study abroad and enhance their skills and employability. The cost of a travel scholarship can range from ВЈ500 to ВЈ2,000 depending on the duration and geographical location. There are several ways donors can support the Scholarships Fund. They can name a scholarship in perpetuity by creating a Named Endowed Scholarship tailored to a particular subject or to fund students from particular geographical areas. The scholarship is awarded from interest generated by a large capital gift. Alternatively, Named Annual Scholarships require a regular gift which can be made monthly or annually. However, donations of all sizes are welcome and donors can direct a regular monthly gift towards the overall Scholarships Fund. For more information on the UniversityвЂ™s Scholarships Fund please visit the website: www.glasgow.ac.uk/ thescholarshipsfund or contact David Miller on +44 (0)141 330 1867 or e-mail: [email protected] A keen cyclist, Gordon was a foundermember of Glasgow University Cycling Club in 1964 and has won two individual silver medals and three first-team medals at British University CyclingВ Championships. Unfortunately competitive cycling ended in 1997 when a car hit him resulting in a fractured spine. Gordon says вЂњyou will understand that my debt to all leukaemia researchers past and present is quite impossible to adequately repay but that just means I want to do somethingВ to help, however littleвЂќ. Even though Gordon has had a few setbacks over the last 12 weeks he managed to complete the Challenge on time! Blair and Fiona Mackenzie Cycle Glasgow in its 9th year The University of Glasgow is organising its 9th sponsored cycle on Sunday 14th August 2011, continuing to raise essential funds for the Paul OвЂ™Gorman Leukaemia Research Centre. This event is a fun family cycle designed for riders of all ages and abilities. Entrants can chose to cycle 13 or 26 miles, starting and finishing in Kelvingrove Park. To date, we have raised more than ВЈ323,000 through our sponsored cycles. This money was integral for opening the facilities, providing the essential infrastructure andВ equipment needed to run the centre and allowing the expansion of scientific staff. Volunteers are also needed to help steward the route. For more information, please contact Fiona Donnelly at [email protected] Blair and Fiona Mackenzie, a mother and son from Glasgow, decided to swim the 22 miles of the Channel and walk the 97 miles of the West Highland Way to support the Centre. Blair is an electrician and trainee estimator and Fiona is a company secretary, both in the family business. Fiona says: вЂњsince being diagnosed with CML in February 2010, Blair has been receiving excellent treatment and support both in Vancouver and Glasgow and the drugs now available have given him the chance to live a full life that wouldnвЂ™t have been possible a few years ago. We owe so many thanks to the researchers who have made this possible and the research into such drugs and new treatments must be able to continue. When the opportunity arose to take part in the challenge we both felt it was a way of contributing and as an added bonus for both of us we get fitter.вЂќ The challenge, however, hasnвЂ™t always been plain sailing for them. Fiona had problems with shin splints but is now doing her walking on the treadmill at the gym and is back on track to finish the challenge on time. Blair, who also plays rugby and has represented Scotland at Under 19 level, has completed his swimming challenge despite having to work away from home for two weeks and being really tired at times. Blair and Fiona are hoping to raise ВЈ2,500. Well done to Gordon, Fiona and Blair on their challenges! If you would like to complete a similar challenge please get in touch with Laura Morton on the details over the page. Interview with Professor Dominiczak Beatson Pebble Appeal The Beatson Pebble Appeal total has reached ВЈ8.3 million. Below you can read about what our supporters have been getting up to over the last few months Professor Anna Dominiczak became the Head of the newly formed College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences (MVLS) in August 2010. The College comprises the former Faculties of Medicine, Biomedical and Life Sciences and Veterinary Medicine. The new College is structured as a number of teaching schools and research institutes. Professor Dominiczak talks to us about the College and how the restructure is helping the University move forward as a major force in a competitive environment. A number of our donors gave to theВ Medical School Building campaign back in the early 2000s вЂ“ how does the School fit in to the current structure? Professor Dominiczak says, вЂњOur new College covers very broad areas of teaching and learning and research in Life Sciences, Veterinary Medicine and Medicine thus facilitating multidisciplinary approaches in all of our activities. The development of three schools and six research institutes with the seventh institute currently under active development allows the College to spell out our research priorities in a clear way.вЂќ There are three teaching schools in the College; Medicine, Life Sciences and Veterinary Medicine which work alongside six Research Institutes. As a central building within the campus the Wolfson Medical School has now become the hub for the College of MVLS.В How many staff work in the new College of MVLS? The new College is the UniversityвЂ™s biggest and has 2000 staff with our annual turnover approximately ВЈ165 million. В Can you tell us how restructuring prepares us for the future, especially atВ the moment when the University is facing financial challenges? Higher education sector as a whole is facing unprecedented pressures and this new structure holds us in good stead for the future.В The formation of this College has provided us with excellent opportunities, particularly in the areas of multidisciplinary research and the translational aspects of health and life sciences thusВ bringing benefits to patients andВ populations, as well as answering fundamental biological questions, with the promise of major impact on Scotland, UK and further afield.В В There seems to be a trend towards smaller number of large grants being awarded to well-founded research teams and teams of cross-disciplinary academics so the CollegeвЂ™s collaborative, interdisciplinary approach means we are in a good position to attract these larger grants.В Joint research and learning and teaching strategies and our joint graduate school allow for significant economies of scale, ability to plan and think big andВ to put us in an excellent position to attract the best students and researchers to Glasgow and to forge world class international partnerships.вЂќ Pebble Baskets The building itself has collected many accolades over the past 9 years, it was specifically mentioned in the 2007 GMCвЂ™s review as being one of the main strengths for the School of Medicine and the BMJ awarded an Excellence in Learning and Education in 2009 for the buildingвЂ™s excellent approach to acute medicine. Local business woman Fiona Gibson recently raised ВЈ500 for the Beatson Pebble Appeal. Fiona commented вЂњI felt I wanted to do something to say thank you for the care and treatment I received when I was a patient at the Beatson last year. As I own a gift basket delivery business called Pebble Baskets & Gifts it seemed perfect to try to raise some money for the Beatson Pebble AppealвЂќ. We are very grateful to all our previous medical donors and can say without hesitation that the Wolfson Medical School Building is absolutely central to the College and will continue to be so in the coming years. What impact does this change have on current students, donors and alumni? The University of Glasgow is in the position it is today thanks to the efforts of the staff, the input of the students, and the relationship we have with our alumni. The new structure will help us build on these relationships With regard to the impact it has on students, the University made sure that a Student Experience Working Group was established throughout the transition to ensure that the student experience did not suffer. Our student experience is one of the best in the UK and we are determined to uphold that. In addition, a positive student experience is one of the key aims of the Dean of Learning and Teaching and the Dean of Graduate Studies in each College.В Donors can be certain that their gifts will be used in accordance with their wishes. Neither they nor our alumni will be directly affected by the internal changes. We have, however, made it easier for the Development Office to disburse the funds quickly and efficiently to worthwhile projects as the College is more streamlined.В Fiona continues, вЂњmy daughter Gemma and I held a coffee morning and sold candles and gifts which I donated from my business. Lastly, how has your day to day life changed since becoming Head of College? My day to day life is very busy but also a great challenge. We are already seeing collaborative proposals which would never have happened before August. This is true for teaching as well, especially for new postgraduate courses and research projects. Plus I have an excellent support team in place led by Dr Carol Clugston.

I hope that this will help in a small way toward the fundraising target and I do hope to raise further funds later this yearвЂќ. Campaign Chairman Michael Bond said вЂњWe are always impressed by the way donors use their skills and personal contacts to help raise funds for the appeal. We have now raised ВЈ8.3m of our ВЈ10m target which would not have been possible without a number of enthusiastic donors such as FionaвЂќ. Think Pink Scotland Update The Think Pink Scotland Ceilidh took place on Friday 4th February in Oran Mor. The Last Tram tae Auchenshuggle made sure that everyone took to the floor and enjoyed the Eightsome Reels, the Gay Gordons and many more! More than ВЈ2,500 was raised on the night, so many thanks to all those who attended. The fifth annual Think Pink Scotland Ball will take place on Friday 6th May at 7pm in Oran Mor.

Regular readers may be familiar with Darren HeepsвЂ™ story. Darren was diagnosed with testicular cancer in March 2010 and quickly decided he wanted to get involved supporting the Beatson Pebble Appeal after the successful treatment he received. Darren says вЂњMy sister spotted a poster promoting the abseil at the Falkirk Wheel in aid of the Beatson Pebble Appeal and I thought this was a great opportunity to help give something backвЂќ. Darren abseiled off the Falkirk Wheel last year and raised over ВЈ600 for the appeal. Kirsty Craig, fundraiser for the Beatson Pebble Appeal commented вЂњWe were really pleased that the abseil proved so popular. The event raised more than ВЈ20,000 and we are now looking forward to the Abseil from the Finnieston Crane on April 23rd 2011.вЂќ Well done to Darren for raising such a tremendous amount. Even his dog Coco came along wearing an appeal T shirt to support him! Places are still available for the Finnieston Crane abseil on Saturday 23rd April 2011.
