In memory of Linda:
Linda was very instrumental in getting the iCanProgram courses launched.
She fought bravely for 7 years but ultimately Cancer won.
We'll miss her.
In memory of Linda all the iCanProgram courses will now be offered WITHOUT
fees.
All we ask in return is that you make a voluntary contribution to your
local Cancer Research charity.

| WOW !!!
Over 2900 students from over 50 different nations have
participated in iCanProgram courses since 2002 January.
All the worldwide Cancer charities thank you. |
