Circle Scotland 2007 · 17 July 2006

We are the official charity of NHS Lothian, supporting all its work, all its staff and all the patients and families it cares for. From the everyday to the transformational, from birth to end of life care, we’re here to help everyone give something back to move health forward.

Story

Did you know that Blood Cancers will affect 1 in 10 of us ? 739 people a day in the UK are told they have some form of the disease, and 1 in 3 of us will get CANCER as things stand at present.

It is not until you or someone close to you loses a loved one that you feel the need to try and do something to improve things.

Paul Abraham, a much loved, son, brother, husband and friend tragically died on 4th July 2005, aged 30 to Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

We would like you to help us raise funds to allow the best treatment to be provided immediately upon early diagnosis.

Your money will pay for Scientific Research staff at the Western General Hospital Edinburgh, capable of applying the sophisticated molecular diagnostic techniques. These are essential in the early diagnosis of Hodgkin’s, non-Hodgkin’s, Leukaemia and Myeloma.

On 26th May 2007, Paul's elder brother Mark, along with friends and colleagues will spend 14 gruelling days circumnavigating Scotland, spending roughly 7 hours a day in the saddle ! OUCH

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Lothian Health Board Endowment Fund will receive 100% of our money faster (no administration fees) and, if you are a taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

HOT NEWS !! The Paul Abraham Molecular Laboratory is now open with funds raised so far. It is catering for patients in Dumfries, Borders, Edinburgh, Lothian, Fife, Highlands and Islands.

So please sponsor us now !

Many thanks for your support.
