If you are like me, you know people whose lives have been impacted by cancer. I can honestly say that not a year goes by without someone I know being touched by cancer and I’m tired of it. It would be nice to help those impacted by cancer by attending Tip a Wee Dram. You can even make it a night out with friends: have dinner beforehand and then go and taste some lovely whiskies. The evening is guaranteed to be a fun night and a great opportunity to support a good cause.
