Why your donation matters

The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation is launching a new project in 2012 which will see more experts receiving funding for lung cancer research. The new grants scheme will allow academics to apply for grants to research the early detection of lung cancer as well as looking at how the experience of patients can be improved. Dr Jesme Fox, medical director for the charity, said: “Only 5% of cancer research funding is spent on lung cancer despite it being the biggest cancer killer. “Without the support of our generous supporters we could not provide these grants and I want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for helping us carry out this vitally important work." Donate now - your support will help defeat lung cancer

Case study: donations in action

I am 32 and happily married with a gorgeous little 3-year-old girl, Lottie, who is the apple of my eye. In May 2009, I developed a persistent cough and began to lose weight. At first I thought it might just be an allergy but when I began coughing up blood and, later in November 2009, suffering from severe chest pain, I knew something was seriously wrong. I underwent surgery to have part of my lung removed but only a month later the cough returned followed by sickness and fever and I was told in May 2010 that the cancer had returned and was now inoperable. Initially I felt anger and disbelief and a period of grieving for my future, but I am now determined to fight this disease with whatever it takes and I'm willing to explore any avenue to achieve this. I refuse to be beaten without a darned good fight.
