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

Story

In loving memory of our wonderful Gary we are once again raising money for PAWS-GIST, a very rare and currently incurable cancer that took Gary from us far too soon.

Gary always remained so positive throughout his illness and even took part in challenges himself to raise awareness of this horrible disease. This year, we are aiming to raise more than ever by completing the Sandstone Trail.

Donations will help to support the charity's unique and special clinic as well as three new specific research projects and new drug trials for patients.  The clinic does not receive any government funding or funding from mainstream charities and one 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.
