Grant Success for Dr. Charles Rayner

JUNE is Cancer Immunotherapy month

Welcome to the first issue of our formal newsletter which is to be issued bi-monthly to keep you abreast of developments within Topic of Cancer, particularly important at this time when we cannot meet face to face.

There have been several changes in the Board of Trustees in the last year so we thought it might be helpful to describe the current team. As there are only a few of us and we all live locally to Guildford we should like to encourage you to get to know us.

Roger Macdivitt is running a Three Counties Immunotherapy day. The second event on the day is at The Gurkha Durbar Nepalese Restaurant Headley Road, Grayshott GU26 6LO.

“University of Surrey researchers said the virus could “help revolutionise treatment” for the cancer and reduce the risk of it recurring.”

Our great team completed the Vitality London 10K run last weekend (28th May).

We are the charity of choice for this year’s Surrey Business Expo 2018.

The ToC Voices choir auditioned 4 possible leaders at rehearsal last night (Monday, 30th April) and voted unanimously for Emily Bollon. As you will see from this link, Emily has a special link to Guildford and Surrey Uni and is very qualified to take us forward.

On Saturday 17th March 2018 we held our 5th AGM since starting to fundraise for our incredible immunotherapy research team in Guildford, Surrey UK.

On Saturday, 3rd March, the Rotary Club of Guildford and TurnFit Studios held their 2018 Bikeathon.

At our Monday 12th February meeting of our ToC Together support group in Bookham, the guest speaker came from Co-Op Estate Planning.

On Saturday 10th February our patron Colin Roy was starring in a Vantine’s Evening tribute to Nat King Cole.

Life has been a bit hectic here with a trip to Buckingham Palace at the invitation of HRH The Prince of Wales for a Macmillan Reception.

Last night we were at the Hippodrome, Leicester Square for a brilliant evening with Colin Roy and his salute to Nat King Cole. It was well worth the effort and money as we had a great time, plus he introduced me and talked about ToC, so I had several chats with audience members afterwards. Patrons Michael Elwyn and Alison Steadman joined us there as well as Norman and Terri Davidson, our Ambassadors in Kent.
