Story

https://www.salivaryglandcancer.uk/our-stories-videos-and-podcasts/alisons-story/

This is my sister Alison and her brave story about her battle with a rare cancer.

I regularly swim with an amazing group of ladies who have decided to take part in the 20 days 20 challenges fundraiser. We plan on doing 20 swims over 20 days, each with a different theme!

We will keep everyone posted on progress and I can almost guarantee the photos and antics will entertain. Please consider supporting this fabulous team to raise funds for a very important and worthy cause. Thank you


144,600 people in England are diagnosed with a rare or less common cancer every year. Covid-19 has led to a fall in the number of people getting diagnosed with all kinds of cancer including our rare cancers. This is because fewer people have come forward with symptoms, patients have faced delays in getting appointments, treatments and also problems getting support.The % of deaths from rare or less common cancers rose from 53% in 2001 to 55% in 2017, and we can only speculate the effect Covid-19 will have on these numbers. We will also see an increase in the number of people living with a rare or less common cancer.
