Fundraising for UCARE
Story
This year I will be running the London Marathon on the 4th October, to raise money for the amazing charity UCARE. Any donation you can spare will be hugely appreciated and make a significant difference in the fight against cancer.
UCARE (Urology Cancer Research and Education) are an independent charity committed to improving the treatment and care of cancer patients through research and education. Urological cancers, those of the kidney, bladder, prostate and testes account for 1 in 3 of all cancers in men and 1 in 5 of all cancers in men and women.
You can trust that your money will be put to good use by the UCARE team. Their aim is to fund the best quality research by bringing together the knowledge and opinions of researchers, clinicians, and allied health professionals to support research and education in urological cancer. For example, UCARE are currently funding a study in High Intensity Focused ultrasound (HIFU), which is a non-invasive method of destroying solid tumours, including cancers, from outside the body without using radiation.
With your support UCARE are able to fund research into the causes, prevention and treatment of urological cancers and provide equipment and facilities for research. They promote the development of new technologies to improve the diagnosis and treatment of urological cancers and provide awareness, information and education for patients, families and the community.
