Thank you so much to #Blackburn dad and daughter team Mark and Kaitlin Haworth, who have raised a wonderful £2,310 through a 30-mile roller skating challenge 🤗🛼
The duo set themselves the challenge of skating 30 miles in continuous laps at @wiganrollerrink, which Mark, partner Chantelle, 17-year-old Blackburn College student Kaitlin and brother Ollie (14) are regular visitors of, for fun and family fitness.
In a three hour session, Kaitlin achieved their 30-mile target while Mark exceeded it by six miles. Cheering them on were friends plus Ollie and Chantelle, who is currently in a wheelchair after being diagnosed with Stage 4 cervical cancer a year ago.
Back in November last year, Chantelle (41) was told she had just three months to live without treatment but subsequent chemotherapy at the Royal Blackburn Hospital and a course of daily radiotherapy at the Rosemere Cancer Centre here at @lancshospitals, which Chantelle is part way through, has stopped her cancer from spreading, stabilising her condition and making her feel more well.
Chantelle said: “Mark and Kaitlin did brilliant. We are very grateful to everyone who sponsored and supported them.”
Among their sponsors were printer Mark’s employer, Clayton-le-Moors’ @surface_print_company, which match funded the donation he and Kaitlin raised. Roller rink pals Stephen Green and Summer Davis (17) also donated funds they raised skating to Mark and Kaitlin.
A huge thanks to everyone involved in raising these funds - they will help to make a real difference for local cancer care ❤🙏

We’d like to give a huge thank you to all of the customers of Storth’s village shop and post office, who have secured a £1,500 donation for us by nominating us for one of the not-for-profit store’s 2023 community awards! 🤗🥰
The business is managed as a community co-operative by a team of volunteers and any profits made are divvied up among local good causes suggested by its users.
Among the shop and post office’s regular customers is retired village school headmistress Alison Charlesworth, a former patient of the Rosemere Cancer Centre here at @lancshospitals, and a member of our fantastic Dallam Supporters Group.
Along with other group members, who are also customers, Alison put forward us to receive an award to help us buy a new consignment of popper gowns for patients undergoing #radiotherapy at the cancer centre.
We funds gowns so that every radiotherapy patient can have their own, well-fitting gown, which is theirs to take home, from the start to finish of their treatment - something that ensures a little more comfort and dignity for patients at an already potentially stressful time.
Thank you so much to everyone who nominated us - we hugely appreciate your continued support and kindness! This award is the eighth award we have received from the co-operative since 2016, taking their total donation to us to an amazing £7,455 🙏❤

I loved hearing them sing at St Catherine’s Hospice a few years ago. Well done guys. Xx

Following the constant sales and marketing of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, did you know that today is #GivingTuesday? It’s a day of global generosity, to encourage people to do good, give back, or celebrate the work that the charity sector does 🤗
We know times are tough for many of us at the moment, and they're even more tough if you, or a loved one, is facing a cancer diagnosis or undergoing treatment. As a charity, we aim to do all that we can to improve treatment and care for these people, wherever they are across the region – here at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, or further afield at hospitals under the East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust, University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust or Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust umbrellas.
The projects we fund are outside the scope of the NHS, but have a huge impact for patients – things like cutting-edge kit (like the recent installation of surface guided radiotherapy equipment at the regional cancer centre) to make treatment more efficient, clinical research projects to push forwards in the fight against cancer, or patient welfare projects (like free of charge complementary therapies, or refurbishments to patient areas) to make the cancer journey just that little bit less stressful and more comfortable.
So this Giving Tuesday, if you’re able, could you spare even the smallest of donations to help us continue to make a difference for local cancer patients? 🙏
You can make a donation of any amount you choose online here: rosemere.enthuse.com/donate.
Or, you can donate quickly and easily by text. Simply text ROSEMERE 3 to 70085 to donate £3, ROSEMERE 5 to 70085 to donate £5, ROSEMERE 10 to donate £10 - or whatever amount you like! (All texts will cost your donation amount, plus your standard network rate) 📱
Thank you ❤🥰🌹 ... See MoreSee Less
