Radiotherapy UK is thrilled to announce our latest event partner for this year’s #Miles4Radiotherapy.
The Leo Cancer Care team will be backing this summer’s virtual challenge for the radiotherapy community in support of our #CatchUpWithCancer campaign.
Stephen Towe, Chief Executive Officer of Leo Cancer Care, said: “Leo Cancer Care is delighted to be sponsoring Radiotherapy UK. We have a joint mission to bring the best in radiation therapy to patients across the UK and we’re excited to be continuing to support through the #Miles4Radiotherapy fundraiser.”
This year’s #Miles4Radiotherapy challenge starts on July 1, and welcomes anyone impacted by cancer to create a team or individual challenge and clock up the miles for sponsorship. Participants can choose how they move: walking, running, scooting, wheeling, sailing, horse-riding, and paddle-boarding are just some of the choices from previous years. Everyone taking part will get a welcome pack and snazzy multifunctional headwear: and a Thank You lanyard at the end of the event. Participants will also we invited to sign up for an in-person race with 3mile and 10mile courses in Yorkshire.
Every step taken and pound raised supports the UK’s longest and loudest campaign for cancer patients facing deadly treatment delays. #CatchUpWithCancer was co-founded by Radiotherapy UK in 2020 and has never stopped speaking out since. At present, around 4 in 10 people wait longer than the recommended 62-days for to start cancer treatment.
Leo Cancer Care is known for developing an upright radiotherapy solution, aimed at making treatment more comfortable and effective for patients.
Sarah Quinlan MBE, director of Radiotherapy UK, said: “We’ve always had a really positive relationship with the Leo Cancer Care team, who all took part in last year’s challenge. It’s great to have them on board as event partner this year as we set to make this the best year yet for our participants.
“We are looking forward to a brilliant summer of getting outside for our health and to campaign for a better future for people with cancer.”
