My story

I am supporting GASTROCAN (Grampian Gastro-oesophageal Cancer Research Fund) by running the 5k Balmoral Run on 23 April 2011. Running is a new pastime for me so please help motivate me and sponsor as much as you can. Any donation will be greatly appreciated and make effort worthwhile! I have chosen this charity as my work colleague Janice's husband Nick Cook has this Cancer. Both he and Janice have done a lot to raise awareness and money to support Dr Petty and his team. 

Please read on to understand what your donation will fund:-

Founded by Dr Russell Petty, GASTROCAN is the only charity raising money specifically for research into stomach and oesophageal cancer. Dr Petty leads the Aberdeen University and NHS Grampian research into the causes and treatments of this devastating disease.

 

Main aims of GASTROCAN include:

 

·         Undertake internationally important cancer research locally in Grampian

·         Enable local patients to benefit from the latest cutting edge treatments for gastric and oesophageal cancer

·         Help recruit the best doctors to work in Grampian to be part of the research

·         Raise awareness of gastric and oesophageal cancer so that patients recognise the symptoms and seek medical help earlier  

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.
