Lung Cancer Specialist Nurses receive donation A cheque for £510 has been handed over to our Lung Cancer specialist nurses after fundraising at a 60th birthday party.Debra Thurston decided that her 60th birthday gathering would help support others and she started fundraising in memory of her late father and a close friend, Mark Larham, who recently died of lung cancer.Through the event, which included a raffle and collection, and generous donations from friends and family, she raised over £500 and yesterday, Wednesday 19 October, she and her husband Eddie both visited our hospital to officially hand over the money to our Charity Co-ordinator Maxine Taylor and Lung Cancer Specialist Nurses Emily and Laura, who had looked after Mark.Maxine said; “We’d like to thank everyone who contributed to this fundraising and particularly thank Debra for using her milestone birthday to benefit future patients. The donation is very much appreciated.” Manage Cookie Preferences
