I are fundraising to support Nottingham City Hospital in buying a photobiomodulation (PBM) machine.

My Wife, Amber, was on the early trial for PBM therapy during her treatment for cancer. PBM therapy is used at Nottingham City Hospital to support head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy, helping reduce side effects such as swelling, ulcers and mucositis.

The machine gave Amber hope that her side effects would be reduced and allowed her to take some control during her treatment. She was delighted to be a part of the trial programme and was a big advocate of the benefits of this treatment.

Since that initial trial, the hospital has been able to fund one machine to help patients on a regular basis however a second machine would enable the hospital to do so much more, making a difference to even more patients.

As a team we are entering the Tough Mudder at Belvoir Castle this July to raise a much as possible to enable the hospital to buy a PBM machine and support patients with cancer from across the region. Funds raised here will be ringfenced by the charity specifically for this purpose - your donation will directly help cancer patients at Nottingham City Hospital.

You've seen me fundraise before by taking part in marathons, triathlons and long distance bike rides... this one is on another level and is really going to test me!

Thank you so much for your support,

Stuart
