Week 13 - Cancer Research UK

So, last week's blog was late because I was busy having fun in Scotland.  My primary reason for being in Scotland was to celebrate the marriage of two good friends, Jane Whiting and Kevin Motion soI felt it apt to ask them to choose a charity for me to support this week.  They have chosen Cancer Research UK.

Cancer Research UK focus the money they raise into four areas; prevention, early diagnosis, the development of new treatments and the optimisation of existing treatment.  They invest in scientists, doctors and nurses, developing new tests, techniques and drugs.  They are working towards a day when no-one in the UK is a smoker and campaign for the best cancer treatment to be available across the UK.

I know a number of people who are attempting a Cancer Research UK's Dryathlon for September, and the first that came up on my Facebook timeline was my friend Tracey Jakubski.  So I'm donating to Tracey's page - good luck Tracey!
