We would like to share with our fantastic supporters the impact they are having on Cancer Research projects and making a real contribution to improving cancer treatments in Sussex.
Saturday 13th March saw the first inaugural Cancer Research Showcase organised by students from the Brighton & Sussex Medical School (BSMS). The students were from the Oncology, Haematology and Palliative Care (OHP) Society, a student-led society at the Medical School.
While the event was celebrating and demonstrating the impact of making a donation on overall cancer research projects the society chose the Sussex Cancer Fund as their beneficiary for their fundraising efforts. You can see a recording of the whole event here but for an edited version of projects funded by the Sussex Cancer Fund see the video below.
