Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am proud to work as the Marketing & Fundraising Mgr for DDRC, Since joining DDRC in June 2012 I have been amazed to discover the incredible healing powers of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy.

Only around a third of patients are the divers I had expected, the rest are people with wounds that just won't heal and many are diabetics who could be facing amputation if the HBO cannot help to help their wounds. Other patients have had radiation treatment to cure cancer (usually neck, face or pelvic cancers) which has left them with painful tissue damage, which HBO can also help to heal. The individual stories are so moving.

The Research Team are at the forefront of international research into the effective uses of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for a range of conditions. This work is so vital for the future.
