Raising money for Barts and The London Charity

Charity Registration No. 212563

We are the independent registered charity for the three hospitals of Barts and The London NHS Trust – Barts in the City (Britain’s oldest hospital, founded 1123), The Royal London, in Whitechapel, (founded 1740) and The London Chest, in Bethnal Green (founded 1848) - and their excellent schools of Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing. Charitable giving by patients, local communities and businesses has always played and will continue to play a vital role in our hospitals. Their support helps provide state of the art facilities and equipment; supports cutting-edge research and innovations in treatments and ensures the best possible standards for our patients, staff and local communities. The hospitals still rely on the generosity of donors and volunteering from people in our diverse local communities and from those further afield. The Charity’s vital work cannot continue without the help of people like you.

Hi All,

As you are aware Deb has had varying treatments in her fight against cancer.

A particularly stubborn tumor in her liver has resisted a 2nd course of chemo and is inoperable due to it's proximity to 2 major blood vessels running to the heart.

Things appeared grim, until we heard about a new radiotherapy treatment called "Cyberknife". This can target inoperable or difficult to reach tumours, due to it's pinpoint precision, so enabling it to give a concentrated dose to the site without damaging surrounding areas , as with conventional radiotherapy.

So we were delighted to find out that Barts Hospital were opening a Cyberknife Dept in July 2011, and that Deb would be recommended for treatment.

Unfortuneately local NHS Primary Care Trusts rarely fund this.

We were lucky that BUPA funded it for her, but other patients aren't so lucky that don't have private health.

It's these people we would like to help , who will otherwise go untreated.

I am running the London Marathon next year to raise funds for this.

Most of you know what happened last time!

Many thanks in advance.

Regards

Andy, Lush, Fuzz or whatever else you know me as!
