Lung Cancer Team supports two local charities, through Dragon Boat Race!

The Bradford Lung Cancer team facilitate a group for patients and carers at our Bradford Support Centre.

An opportunity for the team to participate in this year’s Bradford Dragon Boat Festival was offered by Irwin Mitchell Solicitors who sponsored a boat. The offer was accepted, and the boat was manned by staff from the lung team and members of the support group.

It was decided that money raised from the event would be shared between the Bradford Hospitals Charity and Cancer Support Yorkshire.

The event took place on Sunday 2nd July in Robert’s Park, Saltaire and was enjoyed by everyone who participated and the families and friends who came to support them.

They competed in 3 races and their best overall time was a very impressive 1.14.19

It’s not too late to support their efforts too.  This is the link to the team’s Crowd Funding Page Fundraiser by Leanne Cheyne : Dragon Boat Festival 2023 (gofundme.com) all donations would be gratefully received.

Watch this space for an update on the total raised!
