DG Partner Charity 2015/16 - Brain Tumour Research
For my charity in Alan’s DG year I have chosen Brain Tumour Research.
When I raised a small amount for this charity, following the death of a close friend from a brain tumour 3 years ago, I was surprised by the statistics:-
- Only 1% of the national spend on Cancer Research goes to this type of cancer
- Brain tumours kill more children and under 40s than any other cancer
- The 5 year survival rate is just 19.8% as opposed to 50% for other cancers
If your club members are happy to consider a donation towards this very vital research, cheques can be sent to the District Treasurer made payable to
LCI DISTRICT 105D endorsed on the back, with “DG Partner’s appeal”.
Alternatively you could present it to me if I am visiting your club this year, or to the Vice DG and partner, visiting on our behalf.
Thank you
Anne Chapman
