Thank you for visiting my Just Giving page. I am taking part in the I love the 80's virtual run in support of the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation. Because of support from events like the virtual run the charity has been able to:
- Funded over £30 million in lung cancer research
- Lay the groundwork for lung cancer screening
- Funded the first ever lung cancer nurse specialist
- Performed the first ever lung cancer keyhole surgery
- Instigated and implemented the ban on smoking in public places and smoking in cars
- Funded and built the first lung cancer research centre in the UK
- Campaigned for life-lengthening treatments
- Raised awareness of lung cancer, challenged the misconceptions around the disease and improved attitudes
- Provided emotional, practical and financial support for thousands and thousands of people diagnosed and living with lung cancer.
But there is so much more to be done.
