With over 200 different types of cancer and one in two people likely to get cancer, Brown Dog aims to make a difference that will help improve the detection rates and improve the lives of those diagnosed with cancer.

This challenge is a team trek in the lake district that has been postponed due to Covid. Originally it was to raise funds for a stem cell apheresis machine - but we had to find other ways to raise that money and not wait for covid. This campaign was highly successful, and the Brown Dog team are amazing and inspiration. I'm joining them again, this time to provide an Ultrathin Transnasal Endoscope for less invasive, faster early detection of cancers. Standard endoscopes require anaesthetics - more specialists, more time, material and equipment. New ultrathin technology saves all that resource for use elsewhere in NHS. Raising the standard of equipment is a Brown Dog forte - NHS trusts can rarely make the business cases for improving existing systems that aren't -yet- actually broken, but it is often a false economy.
