In memory of Gary Mccarthy
Raising Funds for PAWS-GIST because we need to improve treatment and find a cure

Story

We're raising money once again to support people diagnosed with PAWS-GIST, a very rare and incurable cancer.  It can strike anyone at any age although there is a disproportionate amount of young women affected. 

This year we are aiming to raise more than ever in loving memory of our wonderful Gary who was taken from us far too soon by this horrible cancer.  

Donations will help to support the charity's unique and special clinic as well as a new drug trial for patients. The clinic does not receive any funding from mainstream charities and a new drug trial alone costs £250,000.  Clearly the charity needs as much support as possible. This is where we come in. We might not raise £250,000 but anything we can donate is greatly appreciated.

 So please help us with our fund-raising efforts and play a part in eradicating this rare disease forever.
