Your gifts will help provide vital support for families going through cancer and fund life-saving cancer research.

Paul's Story
Paul was devastated when Myra, his beloved wife of 43 years, passed away from lung cancer.
Together they shared their love of travel which saw them take a long-awaited holiday through the UK, partly to trace the family roots in Scotland. It was a wonderful trip, and there was nothing to indicate that Myra was anything other than at full health.
However, Myra developed blood clots in her legs on the flight home. A check-up with her doctor showed the clots had moved into her lungs. A further scan showed she had developed lung cancer, and Myra had surgery to remove the fluid – “it was virtually 6 months later when she passed away” Paul revealed.
“The Cancer Society were so helpful. I have been donating 8 years, this year, usually around Myra’s Birthday or our Wedding Anniversary. It’s important for me to help families get through the stressful times and get the help they need.”
