Story

Hello!
I am taking part in the 4x4x48 challenge on March 4th to raise vital funds for The Paul Strickland Scanner Centre, in memory of my dad. The challenge is to run 4 miles, every 4 hours for 48 hours...I know...insane.

In Sept 2019 my dad was diagnosed with cancer. Prior to my dad passing away, he spent a lot of time at Mount Vernon Hospital undergoing treatments, and the work that everyone does at the hospital is amazing. 

The Paul Strickland Scanner Centre in particular helps to give patients and families hope for the future with more than 16,000 scans performed last year. As an independent charity at Mount Vernon Hospital, they receive no Government funding. With support, they can make sure people affected by cancer and other serious conditions have access to top-quality scanning equipment, operated by the highest calibre staff.

Any donations that you can provide for this ridiculous challenge would be hugely appreciated by me.

Their Story:
Dr Strickland founded our Centre in 1985 with one aim - the early, accurate diagnosis of cancer and other serious diseases, which saves lives. By remaining at the forefront of scanning technology, using the skills of world renowned consultants and highly trained staff, we've consistently achieved this aim. But we need your help to fund new scanners, costing upwards of £1 million. As an independent medical charity, we receive no government funding and rely on donations from our supporters to fund life-changing medical research and ensure patients have access to leading-edge scanning technology and high-quality care. Last year we carried out almost 15,000 scans and with your help we can continue helping patients.
