Ladies and gentlemen,

I am Professor Maurice SCHNEIDER, oncologist andpresident of the Alpes Maritimes committee of theNational League against Cancer. It is an honour forme to address you tonight, on behalf of ourcommittee, for this charity event against cancer thatyou are hosting.

The National League against Cancer was created in 1918 by Mr JustinGodart and Doctor Vincent PASCHETTA created our Committee in 1957.Since then, it has continuously pursued its missions, promoting research,prevention and screening initiatives, and above all helping cancer patientsin their daily life. All these actions are mostly financed by privatedonations. There are now 103 committees throughout France, includingthe overseas territories.

Our committee upholds the same values, and our Espace Ligue, createdin 2007 is dedicated to helping patients and their loved ones. In thisspace, professionals and volunteers offer their services every day in orderto help patients during and after their treatment in their daily life. Pleaseknow that the funds collected tonight will help to finance a secondEspace Ligue in Antibes.

I would like to thank the Mimosa Committee for their admirable gestureof solidarity. I would also like to thank the Royal Mougins Golf Club fortheir involvement and support, as well as all the partners who help madetonight’s event a success. And last, to every single one of you, thank youfor being here tonight.

Le Président,

Professeur Maurice SCHNEIDER

Welcome

LIZZY AND THE GENTLEMENPerforming a selection of hits oldand new, in a modern ‘live lounge’acoustic setting, the ‘Lizzy & The Gentlemen Duo’features Cannes based acclaimed JazzVocalist Lizzy Parks & London basedTom Robins on Guitar/Vocals.

www.lizzyandthegentlemen.com

We have been overwhelmed by your support for this evening; yoursponsorships, donations and most importantly your presence. It hasfuelled our conviction even more. Your interest and superbencouragement of the Mimosa Ball last year and this evening meansthat La Ligue contre le Cancer can provide a second much needed‘Espace Ligue’ on the Riviera.

We will all hear Faye’s story this evening, about her battle with cancer butalso how she found a haven, somewhere where she could receive helpwithout question and find relief. This is why we chose to support La Liguecontre le Cancer. To make a difference, however small, to many people.People like Faye who would otherwise have few options available to them,to help them through a phenomenally difficult and terrifying time in theirlives.

The Mimosa Ball started because we have each known the pain of seeing aloved one suffer this illness and wanted to aid a charity that combats Cancer.Having chosen to make our lives in the South of France, we all felt it wasimportant to give back to the community that has embraced us. La Ligue isa charity that stands out for us as they not only fund research but also helpsthe quality of life for patients and their families providing support, adviceand workshops for free. A vital role in the battle against cancer.

The second Espace Ligue is due to open in Antibes this Autumn and it is onlybecause of your assistance that we have been able to do this. Thank youagain for your time this evening, support through your very generoussponsorships and donations as well as your words of encouragement.

A heartfelt thank you from us all.
