Story

The Urology Foundation is the only UK charity dedicated to all urology diseases with a mission to save lives and end the suffering caused by urology cancers & conditions. These diseases affect millions across the UK and Ireland. Working with researchers, urology and health care professional TUF supports cutting-edge research and leading education and training.

At a personal level TUF sponsored me to go to New Zealand to learn the technique of HoLEP-Laser prostate surgery. This is a technically challenging operation ideally suited to big prostates which are much harder to deal with by conventional techniques. I have now become a National and International expert in the technique which has now helped over 1500 patients-some return for TUF! It is a very inclusive charity helping multiple facets of Urological disease, treatment education and research. I would never have got to where I am today without their help.

The TUF riders are a mixture of clinicians and patients all of whom will have benefitted from TUF, either directly or indirectly. I urge you to give generously. There is never a good time to know a Urologist except when you really need one, and then you will hope he or she has been sponsored by TUF!
