Story

Support Team KOC as We Take on DEKA FIT!

The Kent Oncology Centre provides specialist cancer services to around 2 million people across Kent, Medway, and East Sussex, treating up to 600 patients every day.

Within our Radiotherapy department, we delivered 50,000 treatments in the last year alone. We are raising funds to help further improve radiotherapy treatment and patient care, including investment in Surface Guided Radiotherapy, an advanced technology that can enhance treatment accuracy and patient experience.

To support this important cause, a team of dedicated radiotherapy staff members have signed up for the gruelling DEKA FIT challenge. This demanding fitness event combines multiple running and exercise stations, pushing us to our limits whilst hopefully pushing you to your pockets!
