As we kick off this quarter's newsletter, there's really only one place we can start.
Everyone at the George Pantziarka TP53 Trust would like to send our congratulations and thanks to Sam McKavanagh, Joel Brisk and Simon Davies - the three friends who this month raised over £14,000, split between Young Lives vs Cancer and our Trust.
Sam, Joel and Simon ran the 100km 'Race to the Stones' ultramarathon from Lewknor to Avebury to raise money for the charities that have supported Sam's son, Milo.
Milo was diagnosed with an adrenocortical carcinoma just before his first birthday. During the course of his treatment, both Milo and his mother Maria, were diagnosed with Li Fraumeni Syndrome. After eight rounds of chemotherapy and two surgeries, Milo's latest scans and blood tests have come back clear.
As a Trust we're proud to have supported the family through this time and are continuing to provide information on appropriate screening protocols and upcoming clinical trials.
The three friends completed the ultramarathon on 8th and 9th July and, at the time of writing, have raised £14,380, an incredible 148% of their fundraising target. Donations are still open, so if you'd like to give to a worthwhile cause, or read more on Sam, Maria and Milo's journey, click the link below.
