This joint fundraising will not only help care for patients, including my dear sister Rita, but also to research and produce new treatments through the incredibly detailed research work carried out by prof. John Crown's team at CCRT. This is a joint UK/Ireland fundaiser, because I've experienced the care and love that maggies centres have given to my dear Sister, and other friends/patients. Their work is priceless, and a "best practice" example of how care can be extended. the minute you get a diagnosis the roof caves in. maggies, and CCRT help rebuild your life, and to give patients time to live that life, rather than just survive longer. this journey will be painful, but the pain is my choice. Cancer patients have little choice of when the pain comes. Especially in the younger patient, what would you give to hep them get more time disease free? to research new treatments for all types of cancer. there has never been a better time to need treatment for cancer, but some variants remain very stubborn, and we need to keep researching to crack these.The more treatments we develop, the great number we can treat, and the less the treatments will cost! Lets give a bit, to get a lot back.
