Fundraising for Melanoma Oncology at St James'

Fundraising for Leeds Hospitals Charity
£29,052
raised of £15,000 target
We support Leeds Teaching Hospitals staff to deliver the best care for our patients

Story

We're looking to raise money for The Melanoma Oncology Unit at St James’ via the Leeds Cares charity which specialises in the care of patients with cancer and much needed research within Leeds Teaching Hospitals.

Lucy wanted to reach the target of £15,000 - which has now been smashed by the kind donations and hard work of many!

The money donated so far has helped to fund the purchase of drip stands within the Systemic Anti - Cancer Treatment Unit. The unit has 55 chairs and each chair should have a drips tand and infusion pump, because it didn't - it meant patients were waiting longer for treatment as drip stands were not available. So that's great that collectively, we have helped in someway to speeding treatments up.

We do know that they are looking to purchase a mole mapping machine and we hope our fundraising will contribute towards that too.

If you fancy setting yourself a challenge to fundraise for this cause, please get in touch and we'll add it to the page!

Following the success of the last two years' Tractor runs, the last one raising £5000 we are excited to announce this years event - details so far below:
