Story
I've run for myself for the past couple of months, so as it's December, I've decided to run for others. I was doing RFL this year, but that got cancelled, so instead I have found this virtual run for a good cause. I'll be attempting to run a half marathon distance across December so feel free to support me if you would like to.
Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation is the only UK lung cancer charity dedicated to helping everyone affected by the disease. As the current situation proves the need for RC is imperative. People with Lung cancer are at highest risk of serious illness if they catch COVID-19. In addition to this many are faced with the very realistic prospect that their treatment may be postponed. This is understandably creating high levels of anxiety & worry. As a result, calls to our "Ask the Nurse" service have increased by 56% whilst our latest service, the "Keep in Touch" support service, is ensuring the most socially isolated are not overlooked or forgotten. RC receive no government funding. This means everything they do, every person they support, every life they save, only happens because of the support & generosity of valued supporters like me & you. Thank you.
