Story
In 2006 my lovely husband died of the most treatable form of cancer there is at just 41 years old. Malignant Melanoma - skin cancer - is 98% survivable if caught early but those statistics are reversed if found late.
When I first found out about medical detection dogs I just knew I had to help. They are already doing amazing work - these dogs saves lives daily of people with Diabetes & Addison's disease but the research into early cancer diagnosis with dogs really touched my heart.
I've set my target at £10,000 as this is how much it costs to fully train one dog. Currently there is a 5 year waiting list for a detection dog. The more money we raise the sooner some one else may have their life saved - not theorectically in some years but in reality now.
