Addenbrooke's Charitable Trust (ACT)

🌟In 2021, Peter was diagnosed with cancer and treated at Addenbrooke's. This year, his son Oscar decided he wanted to raise money to thank the hospital that treated his dad. With help from his school, Oscar reached out to local businesses for donations to his cake and coffee morning, and for prizes for his raffle, then topped it all off with a non-uniform day! Thanks to his incredible efforts, he's raised £1,000 for cancer services at Addenbrooke's, including the new Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital. 🎉 🙌If you'd like to give back to Addenbrooke's, consider fundraising! https://lnkd.in/e95ebN6e Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust #fundraising #cambridge #addenbrookes

Research means understanding the underlying causes of devastating illnesses. 🔬 This is why we are proud to say your support continues to go towards early-stage research into cancer. One of the projects you've helped fund is looking to understand a specific gene's connection to acute myeloid leukaemia, or AML. The gene HOXA9, which plays a key role in creating cancerous blood cells, cannot be targeted directly due to lack of knowledge about how it works, so this research is looking for other ways to target this critical gene to treat AML. This fast-growing blood cancer that starts in the bone marrow has shattered millions of lives, and improved knowledge of how it works will help develop future treatments that could save lives across the world. Without you, this would not be possible. 🙏 👉 Learn more about the research you support and help us keep doing more at https://lnkd.in/ecKGQUzP Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust #cancer #aml #medicalresearch #addenbrookes

"There is now a very big hole in our world now that he has gone but he will be in our hearts for as long as we are here to remember him." 💔 "We can not thank them enough for what they did for us and Jake in his final hours they truly are amazing in what they do. We have chosen Addenbrooke's as our charity because this is where Jake was taken and for nearly 48 hours was cared for by the most wonderful NHS staff." 💙 After losing their beloved son and brother, Jake, after a car accident, father and son duo Sean and James channelled their grief into running the incredible 50k Peak District Ultra Challenge in his memory. This massive route covers a scenic trail through the Peak District National Park and, between them, they've raised an incredible £1,765 for our hospital.💪 🙏Thank you, Sean and James, for the incredible gift you've given future patients at our hospitals. 👉If you're interested in fundraising for us, please see our website: https://lnkd.in/e95ebN6e Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust #fundraising #peakdistrict #ultrachallenge #running #addenbrookes
