Story

Fundraising for Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation. As my family and friends know I very sadly lost my dad to lung cancer in January 2021, at age 67. There were no signs of lung cancer so it was a terrible shock when back pain turned out to be his vertebrae had collapsed due to spinal metastases. Cancer spread rapidly from his lung and there was no time for treatment. There needs to be more done to provide early diagnosis through regular screening.
