Toyota dealer offers Hope in cancer fight
Farmer & Carlisle Toyota has donated £1,550 to fellow Chamber member Hope Against Cancer for its cancer detection project. Two million people in the UK are
living with or are affected by cancer. This figure is set to rise to four million by 2030. Over 250,000 people in England are diagnosed with cancer every year and around 130,000 of those people will lose their lives as a result of the disease. Improving survival rates can be achieved through the speed of the detection of cancer and an increased array of methods available to clinicians to treat the disease. Thanks to life-saving research
more people are surviving cancer, with survival rates doubling in the past 40 years. Around 5,000 people within Leicestershire are diagnosed with cancer each year and the region currently has hot spots of cancer associated with cultural and socio-economic factors and healthcare inequalities. John Carlisle, Chairman of
Farmer & Carlisle Toyota, said: “We have had the opportunity to work with Hope on many occasions. Its dedication, enthusiasm and out-of-
the-box thinking is helping to take cancer research in Leicestershire to the next level.” Nigel Rose, Hope Against Cancer
Chief Executive, added: “Ensuring that Leicester remains a hub of expertise in cancer research to the benefit of local cancer patients throughout Leicestershire and Rutland is a key strategic aim of our charity. This funding from the Toyota (GB) Charitable Trust has been carefully prioritised with our partners at the University of Leicester and the hospitals to make a positive impact in our fight against cancer. “The support from the Toyota
Fund not only means a great deal to us but to anyone affected by cancer. The funding that we’ve received from the Toyota (GB) Charitable Trust is helping us to install expensive but vital equipment onsite at the Leicester Royal Infirmary. This will be used by our clinicians and researchers to speed up investigation into and development of a liquid biopsy, improve treatments in endometrial cancer, and develop targeted medicines to treat lung cancers.”
