Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page! I’m running for the Butterfly Thyroid Cancer Trust as this is a charity that is close to mine and my family’s heart. A few years ago, my sister was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer – she is now completely free of this Cancer and lives a healthy life. This charity helped us out greatly, providing information and support when needed - which helped us all through some tough times.

 

Thyroid Cancer is rare, but numbers are rising. Currently, this stands at approximately 1,000 new cases in the UK each year. More prevalent in women than men, at a ratio of 2-1, Thyroid Cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy.

 

Butterfly Thyroid Cancer Trust is the first registered charity in the UK dedicated solely to the support of people affected by Thyroid Cancer. We offer information, advice and support from fellow patients. The charity is a double award winner: Pzifer Excellence in Oncology Award [2006] NHS Innovations Award [2007].

 

If you get a chance, please visit the website to read the great help and support this charity provides!
