Let's beat oesophagus cancer for my dad, Paul
In memory of
Paul Gelder
My Story
My lovely dad, Paul, was so brave, positive and absolutely determined to beat his cancer and live as long as he possibly could, but oesophagus cancer is so aggressive - the sixth biggest cause of cancer death in the UK. Worst of all, because he had no symptoms - as is so common with this kind of cancer - it spread before he knew he had it and he barely had a chance to fight it. I want to make sure this doesn’t happen to anyone else. Cancer Research UK supports research into all aspects of cancer through the work of over 4,000 scientists, doctors and nurses but your donation here will go specifically into oesophagus cancer research. If you are a UK taxpayer the value of your donation can increase by 25% under the Gift Aid scheme – at no additional cost to you. Please tick the Gift Aid box when you donate.
CAUSE
Oesophageal cancer
Each year, around 9,400 people are diagnosed with oesophageal cancer in the UK. That’s 26 people every single day. With your support, our dedicated researchers can continue to discover better ways to prevent, detect and treat oesophageal cancer.
