Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I do hope that you will support me by sponsoring my charity walk for BRIGHT. I am a Trustee of BRIGHT and we are committed to carrying out research in colorectal (bowel) and other gastrointestinal cancers. Over the years, we have been involved in running numerous clinical trials for our patients, based at St Luke's Cancer Centre in Guildford, and these trials have benefited patients across Surrey, Hampshire and West Sussex.

You may have supported me 2 years ago, when I did this same charity walk to raise money for a new Papillon (contact radiotherapy) Machine, which we successfully purchased. As a result of all our supporters' generosity then, we are now treating many rectal cancer patients with this unique radiotherapy technique, and helping numerous patients to be spared a permanent stoma bag.

Our current focus is to raise vital funds to purchase a Tissue Analyser so that we can examine proteins which are  present in cancers, at the molecular level. We want to investigate how these proteins control cancer growth and behaviour, and whether they can be targeted by novel treatments, to improve the outcomes for our cancer patients. The Vectra 3 Tissue Imaging System costs about £240K and can analyse 200 cancer slides at a time, and will help us to take our cancer immunology research forward.

I can tell you that all donations, however, small, make a huge difference to us. Thank you for helping me to raise money for this very worthy cause.
