Story

I am a registrar in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery at Poole General Hospital and treat patients with head and neck cancer every day.  I also like to row, but have hung up my oars in order to train for the Copenhagen marathon.  Your donation towards my participation in the marathon on 22 May 2011 will provide funds which will enable About Face to continue supporting people who have cancer of the head and neck, from their Centre based opposite the hospital.  The charity also raises awareness of cancer issues and provides facilities for use by trainee surgeons - just have a look at the "News" page of their website: http://www.about-face.info/news.html and you will see pictures taken at a course there in which I recently participated.

It is not possible on the Just Giving site to name each offline donation but I wish to acknowledge £100 received from the staff at Wesleyan Assurance Society and an amazing total of £861 collected from visitors at the Dolphin Shopping Centre, Poole on Saturday 14 May, £70 from the About Face "drop in" volunteers, £160 from colleagues at Poole Hospital and £290 to date from staff and visitors to Dorchester County Hospital (with more to collect after the event)!  Some donors gave their details for Gift Aid purposes and I have mentioned them at the bottom of this page*

Thank you so much!

About the charity

About Face

Verified by JustGiving

RCN 1087544
About Face has helped people with cancer of the head and neck since the late 1990s with advice, information and support. In 2008, the charity opened the About Face Centre at 111 Longfleet Road immediately opposite Poole Hospital. The charity continues with its support for people one to one and in groups, but now can conduct courses for trainee head and neck cancer surgeons and campaign for greater awareness around head and neck cancer issues. For example, during Mouth Cancer Awareness Week, volunteers from the charity survey shoppers in local centres on attitudes to oral health. It has been proved that good regular oral care can save lives.
