Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I have chosen to raise money for The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation, this is the only chairty in the UK that is wholly dedicated to the defeat of lung cancer. The money raised will help to go towards funding lung cancer research, providing support, helping people to quite smoking and also to give a voice to all those affected by lung cancer.
Roy Castle need your help because...
-You are just as likely to die from lung cancer today as you were if you were diagnosed forty years ago (3.2% in the early 1970s to 5.3% in 2007).
-Lung cancer is the UK’s biggest cancer killer, with almost 35,000 people dying every year – that’s one person every 15 minutes.
-Each year, around 39,750 people are diagnosed with lung cancer in the UK, that’s 109 people every day.
-It is known as the Cinderella Cancer as less than 5% of all funding is invested in research into lung cancer.
So please dig deep and support this charity.
