Story
One in every 3 people are touched by cancer in their lifetime, be it personally, a family member or a friend.
The Sunrise Appeal was launched in 2000 to raise funds, initially to help build a new state of the art facility for cancer treatment at The Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust and to then provide ongoing support to the centre with purchases of equipment and staff training.
With the help of our many supporters, who have raised funds for the Appeal (some in very innovative ways!), we have ensured that the Cornish people have access to the very best care, modern treatments and equipment. Without support of so many we would not have been able to raise £3,100,000 of which £2,300,000 has been invested in a wide range of equipment and a further £165,000 in research, education and bursaries for staff employed at the Sunrise Centre.
We also fought and won a campaign to retain a wide range of cancer services in Cornwall which were likely to be transferred out of county.
As a founding trustee of the Appeal and current treasurer, I hope to raise a further £5,000 through my challenge to add to the fantastic amount raised thus far.
