Story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

In September 2013, I will be climbing Kilimanjaro in aid of ‘Elise for Life’           ( www.eliseforlife.org )

 

The aim of our 'Elise for Life' appeal is to raise £1m, to be split between Melanoma research and a new Melanoma Clinical Trials Unit.

 

Melanoma accounts for about 3 percent of skin cancer cases but causes the most skin cancer deaths. There is currently no cure for melanoma. The new Clinical Trials Unit is advancing this cure and is on the brink of something.

 

1 in 3 of us are affected by cancer. As many of you know this is something that affects me and my wife…

 

Esther was first diagnosed in 2005 with secondary Malignant Melanoma, having been misdiagnosed at aged 16. In the last 7 years, Esther’s illness has progressed to stage 4 and she has endured many major surgeries to remove tumours from her neck, lung and pelvis.

 

Unfortunately, for patients with advanced Melanoma there is no cure. But with more money and more research, a cure is imminent.

 

YOUR money will help current and future patients by providing better treatment, care and hope to so many people.

 

By kindly donating what you can, you could contribute to saving someone’s life.
