CANCER CARE Jávea
Jávea U3A are pleased to announce that our nominated charity for 2012 will be
Cancer Care - Javea (Charity No 8270).
In conjunction with the Cancer Charity Centre Shop, all monies raised are donated to hospitals (equipment), research, patient care, and individuals, together with other cancer-related organisations.
As part of a research project called ECMOR, the charity have already purchased the latest machine that researches and individualises cancer diagnosis and treatment for each patient. This machine is to be placed in the oncology section at Denia Hospital.
The charity have further pledged to raise a further €20,000 – €30,000 a year for maintenance of this machine, and as our nominated charity, we hope to assist in raising some of this money for the benefit of every one needing such treatment.
We will be discussing how we can best help in this venture over the next few months and we are sure members will give as generously and support functions held on their behalf as they have in previous years.
This is an excellent document giving the background and history to Cancer Care, as well as its objectives.
It is a bit big so may not be practical for those with dial-up access. However, you could visit Cancer Care's own web site which contains lots of interesting information on their organisation in a very easy to use format.
