Thanks for visiting the Rosalind Dancygier Travelling Fellowship fundraising page at UCLH in collaboration with EACMFS.
Daniel is aiming to run five marathons of more than 26 miles each, back to back, as a tribute to his wife and the dedication of the head and neck cancer team at UCLH who treated her. He will carry out these marathons from Tuesday 23 June to Saturday 27 June 2009 at his local gym, Virgin Active, in Chigwell. He has been training twice a day for five months and has earned the reputation of 'the crazy Frenchman'.
The Fellowship has been endowed in memory of Rosalind Dancygier and this provides funding for international visitors to come to University College Hospital to get exposure to the very latest treatments for head and neck cancer. The Fellowship is open to all head and neck trainees in Europe and is designed to promote the exchange of knowledge in the treatment of head and neck cancer. The Award holder will spend time at University College Hospitals working with the oncology team looking after patients at UCH, and bringing ideas from overseas for the benefit of our patients here. It is anticipated they will also be exposed to the full spectrum of cancer reconstruction surgery management, so that they should be able to take some new skills back to their own countries for benefit of their patients in the future.
We are very grateful to Daniel for his fund-raising on our behalf, raising money for this Fellowship. All contributions are gratefully received, allowing us to support research into improving care for head and neck cancer patients.
