Above is a video about the Royal Marsden Hospital, a lovely video and tribute to the wonderful team and work they do. It also happens to be one of my all time favourite songs too. Enjoy.
About The Royal Marsden Cancer Campaign - Fund 260
Will’s mother, Lennie, lost her long and courageous battle on the 7th November 2009 after battling with secondary breast cancer since her diagnosis in 2002. Lennie’s oncologist for the last seven years was Professor Ian Smith (or Prof as mum called him for 5 years), Head of the Breast Unit and Professor of Cancer Medicine at the Royal Marsden Hospital where Lennie was treated. The specified Fund 260 is his ‘Research Fund’ which supports the training of a specialist research team and their work, which directly benefits what he can do for his patients like Lennie, who asked us to support it.Below is a paragraph from Prof. Smith:
“The money will be used to help our research into developing new and more effective forms of treatment against breast cancer. We are developing techniques which enable us to study the molecular changes which take place in individual tumours during treatment. This should allow us to target specific treatments for each individual patient. All this requires funding so that we can train specialist doctors and nurses to carry out this pain-staking research.”
On behalf of Professor Ian Smith, his entire research team, all the staff at the Royal Marsden Hospital and myself - thank you very much for your support.
