Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Ok, why the heck are we doing this??? (answers on a postcard please!!)🪩🙈🥳 and any donation is most welcome towards our magic 10K. Thank you!!

Well, we did!!! two bonkers sisters signed up!! If you ask Helen, she blames Kate and vice versa… there was no wine or gin involved (though a very good chance there will be going forward!!) We try each year to do something and so why not “Strictly”???? Well apart from not being able to dance and it will definitely push the comfort zone, it is nothing compared to what patients and their families are going through and living with lung cancer, so it is time to get the glitter ball out, the sequins ready and dust off those dance shoes and start raising some funds and have some fun…. Let the dancing begin!!!

Now the "real" stuff:

Despite being the UK’s biggest cancer killer, there remains a real lack of awareness around the disease and its symptoms. As a result, there are many dangerous and unfair misconceptions and attitudes around the disease, including who it can affect.

The associated stigma of the disease also means people can be reluctant to talk openly about it, further contributing to the inaccuracies and lack of understanding.

Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation is not afraid to talk about lung cancer. In fact, they see it as their responsibility to ensure a spotlight remains on the disease and the people it affects.

The Mission:

At Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation, it is our mission to ensure everyone diagnosed with lung cancer can live well with the disease for as long as possible.
