Hi,
It’s a matter of only a few weeks now until the next challenge to raise funds for much needed early detection equipment for Skin Cancer – to climb Mount Toubkal, Atlas Mountains, Morocco. Melanoma UK have agreed to fund the purchase of equipment with the monies raised through my various challenges – The Wingwalk and the subsequent incredible challenges of climbing Kilimanjaro (not once, but twice).
I have been humbled by the generosity of people who have already pledged to this cause and I really need your help to increase the funds available for the front line of skin cancer diagnosis.
PLEASE CHECK OUT MY DONATION LINK HERE.
For those of you that don’t already know, I’m now stage 4 (diagnosed in August 2021) after the original melanoma that was diagnosed in 2013 had managed to “travel” from my back to my pancreas via my lymph nodes in my right armpit. Its’s been an incredible experience over the last 12 years and I have met (and lost) numerous friends along my travels. This is my chance to make a real difference after insisting on a scan regime after my lymph nodes were removed in 2017 – without those scans it’s very simple – I WOULD NOT BE HERE! The list below is a list of the regular updates as to some of the activities and press coverage that I have been involved with. It includes updates on topical issues around the subject of Melanoma and its treatment. Over the past few months, there have been several significant developments in the field of Melanoma research, and I’ve been actively engaged in sharing insights and updates on the latest advancements and treatment options. Additionally, the National press coverage has provided a platform to raise awareness about the importance of early detection and the ongoing efforts to improve the prognosis for individuals affected by Melanoma. As part of these updates, I have also participated in educational events and discussions aimed at addressing common misconceptions and promoting a better understanding of Melanoma and its impact on individuals and communities.Skin Cancer/Melanoma
