The Great Ridge Challenge · 24 June 2023 ·

Since 2001, we have undertaken challenges and fund raising events to raise funds towards helping those who are diagnosed with cancer. The funds are used to finance projects where funding is not available via the NHS or other public bodies. To date we have raised over £719,000 helping 89 projects.

Story

Over 12000 new cases of Head and Neck Cancers are diagnosed every year in the UK, They include cancer of the throat, mouth / jaw, voice box, food pipe, thyroid & salivary glands. Many patients with Head & Neck Cancer are likely to present with a neck lump. They need further tests including Ultrasound scanning, to exclude cancer & obtain a sample from the lump. We run a One Stop Neck Lump clinic in the ENT Outpatients at the Leicester Royal Infirmary. Patients are seen by the ENT team & if necessary undergo Ultrasound & Needle test at the same visit. We would like to expand this service & having a dedicated Ultrasound scanner in this clinic will allow us to extend this service & help early diagnosis of Head & Neck Cancers

This fundraising is in memory of our friend & colleague Mr Andrew Baker who passed away recently in a tragic accident. Andrew was a Consultant Maxillo Facial Head & Neck Surgeon in the East Midlands for over 25 years. He dedicated his life to the care of patients with Head & Neck Cancer & has touched the life of many

This is for you Andrew
