Celebrating Alex Polyviou
Fundraising for AMMF
Story
Although cholangiocarcinoma is considered rare, worldwide it is the second most common primary liver cancer. It is difficult to diagnose accurately and early, so by the time of diagnosis it is often too advanced for surgery – which is currently the only potential cure.
Founded in 2002, AMMF was the world’s first charity dedicated solely to cholangiocarcinoma. Today, AMMF remains the UK’s only cholangiocarcinoma charity, now working nationally and across Europe, as well as actively collaborating globally. AMMF provides information and support to those who need it, campaigns to raise awareness of this devastating disease, and encourages and supports specialised research teams in their work towards better diagnostic techniques and treatments and, ultimately a cure.
Our family sadly lost our beloved Alex far too young and too quickly, only 1 month after diagnosis. Unfortunately we did not have the chance to get Alex's fight started but would love to help other's in his honour.
Thank you for lovingly supporting our incredible Alex, the most amazing husband, daddy, son, brother, uncle and friend.
All our love, The Polyviou Family xx
