Dear Mr Banting


We have not met, but I wish to support Mr Illingworth's comments about the increased risks of child leukemia near all nuclear power stations.

Sincerely

Subject: Fw: PRESS RELEASE----CHILDHOOD LEUKAEMIA CHARITY ACCEPTS SPONSORSHIP FROM HORIZON NUCLEAR POWER-------PRESS RELEASE

Dear Chris Banting,

We are a group of residents from the Severn Vale who have formed a group called Shepperdine Against Nuclear Energy who are concerned about the environmental and health factors of a new nuclear power station proposed by Horizon Nuclear Power.

We are upset to see that Horizon are sponsors of the Oldbury Fun Run.

I am sure you are aware of the KiKK study in Germany which shows an increased incidence of leukaemia and cancers in children under 5 years old who live close to all nuclear power plants.

We recently held a lecture in Oldbury with Dr Ian Fairlie and the mother of a child that died of leukaemia and lived close to Sellafield and raised £92 for your charity---Where should we send it to?

We request you speak to Oldbury Fun Run Organisers and ask them to remove Horizon as a sponsor.
