STORM THE LATEST VENUE FOR ANOTHER KIND OF BAND
20 July 2005

In February 2005 Wahid Akhtar of Storm, the fashion and footwear chain, saw that a large number of people were profiteering from the sale of wrist bands with none of the money going to charity.� Unhappy with this, Wahid decided to promote their sale through his ladies high street fashion store in St John's Shopping Centre in Liverpool.

Storm has raised �1500 since March and today handed over a cheque to Adam Morton the Chairman of the newly created Liver City Business Committee of the North West Cancer Research Fund.� As Adam says, 'It is only down to the generosity of others that we ensure the continuation of research into the causes of cancer�only by finding the causes of cancer can a cure be found.'
