Help Drive Breakthroughs in Cancer Research
Empower Life-Saving Progress and Support Our £25,000 Appeal
We’re aiming to raise £25,000 to acquire vital equipment that will enhance our capacity to conduct pioneering research on the role of exercise in cancer treatment. Every pound you donate directly supports the OPTIMUS clinical trial, aiming to improve survival outcomes for those battling oesophageal cancer.
Why this research matters
Enhancing natural defenses
Discover how the OPTIMUS project leverages exercise to boost immune function, enhance treatment efficacy, and pioneer personalised cancer care strategies.
Understanding the Impact of Exercise on Cancer
This research is important because it explores how exercise can enhance the body’s natural defences against cancer, potentially leading to improved cancer treatments.
Boosting Immune Function
The study has shown that regular exercise increases CD8+ T cells in tumours, crucial for stopping cancer growth. This suggests exercise could improve patient outcomes and survival rates.
Paving the Way for Personalised Care
The research lays the groundwork for personalised exercise programmes that enhance the efficacy of cancer treatments, potentially leading to significant advancements in cancer care and improving patient quality of life.
Enhancing Treatment Efficacy
By identifying optimal exercise regimens, this research could help integrate exercise with traditional cancer treatments like chemotherapy and immunotherapy, making these treatments more effective.
What your donation will fund
Right now, their exercise lab can only train 3 patients at a time. With your support, we can help triple that number, helping more people, more quickly. Allowing us to expand patient access, test more participants, and gather more life-saving data.
Your donation will help buy:
A cross-trainer
A rower
A treadmill
Afias 3 blood analysis machine
Total Raised:
£XX,XXX of £25,000
