Charles, our President, along with Brother Frank Smith (on the left), recently presented a cheque for £1,400 to Rebecca Arestidou, Fylde area Fundraising Co-ordinator, on behalf of our Circle, to the Rosemere Cancer Foundation.
The Rosemere was our President’s chosen charity and Rebecca recently gave us a Zoom talk about the wonderful work the Foundation does here in Lancashire and South Cumbria.
The money was raised by donations, the Christmas raffle and the sponsored 100 mile bicycle ride from Cleator to Squires Gate undertaken by Brother John McGuire.
The Rosemere Centre is the prime cancer centre for Lancashire and South Cumbria. Monies raised fund state of the art robots which allow surgeons easier access to parts of the body that are difficult to reach, using keyhole procedures reducing the risk of complications and allowing speedier recovery.
The Centre also funds research into preventing and curing cancer, and making sure that patients have the most effective treatment for their particular form of cancer.
A very worthy charity cause on our doorstep that needs all the financial support it can get.
