We fund research, treatments and support to help patients living with cancer

Story

In the last few weeks our world has been turned upside-down when our Mum / Granny got diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

This is one of the lesser known cancers and more tricky to treat so research in this area is vitally important. This fab charity are doing incredibly important work to support research,  treatments and care for patients faced with this daunting diagnosis. 

Our Mum / Granny is our hero and is approaching this challenge with her usual positivity and strength which inspires us all. We want to do our bit to raise money to support all those affected by this disease. 

Andrew, the girls and I are all taking on triathlon challenges. Andrew and I are doing our first Olympic distance triathlon (that's 1500m open water swim, 40k cycle and 10k run!). Amelia is doing her age appropriate triathlon including an open water swim which she finds challenging, and Sophie is doing her first scootathlon.

Knowing that we are raising money will help spur us on so if you can spare any tiny amount in these difficult financial times then we will be forever grateful. Thank you for your support xx

About the charity

PLANETS Cancer Charity

Verified by JustGiving

RCN 1175572
PLANETS ethos is based around two fundamental principles: Firstly, supporting our patients and their families by working together as a “whole team” with the doctors, nurses and other medical staff using the motivation of fundraising alongside our patients to help them fight cancer through the positive energy that this camaraderie creates. Secondly, we use the money that has been raised to provide the “icing on the cake“ by funding things that the NHS otherwise could not afford and stimulating innovation in cancer care through research and the introduction of new treatments. PLANETS is more than just another local cancer charity, it is a motivating and unifying force that is changing the way that we approach the fight against cancer across the central south coast of England. Our aim is not just to save lives but also to enrich them in the process by helping the “whole team” to focus together on our shared goals.
