In 2021 our colleague and friend Simone Taylor passed away from triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) at the age of 32. Triple-negative breast cancer is a particularly aggressive and devastating form of the disease, which mostly occurs in women under 50. There are fewer targeted treatments for the disease and more research is desperately needed to develop new drugs and treatments.

Raising money to support cancer charities was a cause very close to Simone’s heart. The Simone Taylor Fund will donate to a variety of cancer charities selected by her family and colleagues. These charities support genetic diagnosis, scientific discovery and research, the development of new treatments or help those currently living with cancer.

 

 

This month, 13 of our employees took part in a Mighty Hike across the Yorkshire Dales, raising funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. 

In July, 13 of our employees hiked 26 miles across the Yorkshire Dales to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. The team completed the challenge in an incredible time, and managed to raise a fantastic £2,488 in donations!

 

 

We would like to thank everyone who donated, and give a huge congratulations to the team that took part in the walk through the treacherous weather!
