Karen's fundraiser for Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation

Karen Clayton is raising money for Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation

Strictly Ballroom Manchester 2026 · 5 September 2026 ·

We are the only UK lung cancer charity dedicated to helping everyone affected by the disease. We fund essential research and provide much needed support, information and advice. We raise awareness and challenge the misconceptions of lung cancer. We do all this so those affected can expect better.

Story

I have been a lung cancer clinical nurse specialist for 16 years. The team I lead support patients from pre diagnosis to end of life care in hospital and in the community. We always use Roy Castle information to explain and support our patients. I have met many inspirational patients and families and feel very privileged to walk beside them through their journey with lung cancer. I am doing this challenge to give back to the Foundation for all the support and amazing work they do not only for patients and carers but for lung cancer nurses too.

At Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation, it is our mission to ensure everyone diagnosed with lung cancer can live well with the disease for as long as possible.

For the past three decades, Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation has been the driving force behind lung cancer research, investing millions of pounds into the early detection of the disease. We have done this, and will continue to do this, because we know if lung cancer is caught early, curative treatment is possible.
