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 year, Consultant Dom trained long and hard for Leeds marathon, alongside two of his colleagues who also took on the challenge, and managed to finish with a fantastic time.

Thanks to the generosity of our team and everyone who donated, Dom managed to raise an incredible £1,125 for Macmillan Cancer Support! A huge thank you to Dom, and to anyone that helped us raise fantastic amounts of money!
