Get Cropped! - In aid of Testicular Cancer Awareness!
Sussex Underwater Hockey Club organised a head shaving event in support of one of its members Ollie Feest aged 19.
Ollie, from Worthing has played Underwater Hockey for both Brighton and Southsea and Captained his Portsmouth University team, from where he has currently taken time off to receive his treatment.
He has been undergoing treatment for Testicular cancer; unfortunately, just recently, he has had to start a course of chemotherapy as his lymphatic system has also become infected!
Ollie and his family expressed a wish to increase awareness among young males aged 15 to 35 who are most at risk via this sponsored event and raise funds for The Sussex Cancer Fund in aid of The Sussex Cancer Centre at the Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton, where he is receiving his treatment.
The event took place on 17th July at Ollie’s family owned Parklife Cafe, Homefield Park, Newland Road, Worthing, West Sussex.

Rosie Pyper Swimathon!
My Dad, Rollo, has recently been diagnosed with bowel cancer. This was a bit of a shock for us all, but luckily he has been well looked after and is going to start treatment next week. To help raise money for the Sussex Cancer Fund I am going to do a sponsored swim.
I am going to swim 30 miles before my 30th birthday in May. This equals 1440 lengths of a 33.3 metre pool, or 47,952 metres so I have a lot of swimming to do!
The Sussex Cancer Fund raises much needed money for the Sussex Cancer Centre at the Royal Sussex County Hospital and all the money you donate will go directly to providing care and support for cancer patients in Sussex and buying much needed equipment. To sponsor Rosie please click here:
