Hi having had both breasts removed I am acutely aware of the value of further research into combating cancer. Excited to be able to help the University of Nottingham breast research team secure funds for more vital research. We are helping NBCRC beat breast cancer!

We are taking part in this Dragon Boat Race to raise awareness of NBCRC's research, improve the diagnosis of breast cancer, stop the spread of the disease, and improve the effectiveness of future treatments.

Your support is crucial to enhancing this vital programme of research- thank you!

The team consists of local business owners and HSBC Bank staff who support local businesses.

Our Boat is called 'Paddle Panic,' which gives you a clue that none of us has done this before, so it will be a real challenge!

The Team is:

1. David Rickards

4. Tripti Gyan
