WALK FOR MOUTH CANCER

Mouth Cancer is on the increase!

The Mouth Cancer Foundation exists to raise awareness and support for all Head and Neck cancers. The charity endeavours to promote, protect, educate and support the public, patients and their families. Informing people on the signs, symptoms, risk factors, facts and figures and key causes is extremely important and something which

the charity is very passionate about.

There are over 8864 new cases of mouth cancer in the UK each year. 3034 lives were lost in 2021. Worldwide the disease affects 650000 people per year. My late husband was diagnosed in October 2023 and passed away 17 weeks later, in March 2024. His was a very aggressive form of cancer. Unfortunately it was discover too late and incurable.

The charity is encouraging as many walkers as possible to join us in London's Hyde Park on Saturday 21st September 2024, for our 19th Mouth Cancer 10 KM Awareness Walk. I will be their with many of our friends but if you can't be there then please sponsor me.

If London is a step too far then we would also like as many people as possible to stride a 10 K around their local area any time between Tuesday 1st October and Saturday 30th November.
