The Northern Centre for Cancer Care is a close knit community of Radiographers, Physicists, Dosimetrists, Oncologists, Technicians,  Nurses and many more. I'm always very proud to say that it's where I work.  In 2017, one of our own radiographers Jill had her world turned upside down when her son Olly was diagnosed with cancer. Surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy has followed and Olly is determined to improve services for other children going down this pathway. 

When we asked Jill in those early days what we could do to help, she replied 'run the Great North Run and help raise some money'. Those that have met Jill know that 'no' isn't an answer ! 

Below is the story from Olly and I hope you can help us reach his target. 

Thanks for visiting our team Olly fundraising page.

At present there is a massive contrast between my age group and the modern teenage unit.
I want us to have a voice !! The money raised is to be used to improve life for kids 9-13 years old in the RVI Children’s Cancer wards and within Radiotherapy at the Freeman.

We can then improve services for us like better food, comfortable beds for our parents, a chill out room, less dinosaurs and monkeys on walls,a better kitchen and internet and TV that actually works !!!!

I met with some of the top people from the Great North Children’s Hospital at the RVI yesterday with Mum and Dad. They really listened to my ideas and want my input to engage the opinions of my fellow patients.

We have joined together to raise money for the Newcastles Great North Children Hospital Ward 4/14 and Charlie Bear for Cancer care charites.

Thankyou,
’Together we can make a difference’
Olly 😘 xx
