Climbing for Cancer - 15th June 2024

Earlier this year after suffering with back pain for over a year our team coach Dan was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer - Dan is only 38 with a young family and although this type of cancer is treatable there is unfortunately no cure.

Dan is currently going through his first course of chemotherapy and determined to fight as hard as he can to be here for as long as possible.

The diagnosis has unfortunately come after the cancer has already spread , which is why as a team we have decided to climb mount Snowdon on the 15th June 2024 - 2 coaches , 18 players and parents to raise money and awareness for Neuroendocrine Cancer UK , a small charity that supports patients and promotes awareness and research for this awful, rare disease.

The cruel facts of Neuroendocrine Cancer is that over 90% of patients are initially treated for the wrong disease and a correct diagnosis is not usually made until the cancer has spread.

Hopefully with increased awareness by the medical profession, new sufferers will be diagnosed and treated earlier, with a better chance of surviving; 53% of all cancer deaths are caused by the rarer cancers like this.

By donating you will be supporting the research and awareness to hopefully have better outcomes in the future for those suffering with this cancer.
