Introduction

W

elcome to the latest edition of our FUNdraising magazine. Pioneering therapy in Philadelphia for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia has produced an 89% complete remission for their trial group.

Experimental CAR T therapy works by taking some of a patient’s own immune cells via a blood sample and genetically modifying them so that they seek out and destroy cancer cells. The modified cells are grown in the laboratory and then re-infused into the patient. Great progress, let’s hope that it reaches us soon.

On the 14th October, we were presented with a beautiful Holiday Lodge by the Powell family. The Lodge is called ‘Sophie’s Wish’ and our oncology families will now be able to use the Lodge safe in the knowledge that they are close to a Paediatric Oncology Unit. There is a full article in this magazine giving more details but we are so grateful to this wonderful family for raising the funds for the purchase.

Our first Robots have arrived and are being trialled by local schools and our young patients. First reports are most encouraging and we hope that they will make a real improvement to the education of our children undergoing treatment. Unfortunately, HMRC do not accept that the Robots qualify for VAT relief, there is therefore an additional £600 payable for each Robot. We are preparing a submission to HMRC seeking a review. We may need you to sign a petition, watch this space!

Our Lily Pad Appeal is gathering momentum and we have plans for all sorts of events leading up to the festive season and into next year. If you are interested in getting involved in any way, please contact us as soon as possible as some of our events are over subscribed and we don’t want you to be disappointed.

We are always looking for volunteers, so if you feel like having some fun and making some new friends please give us a call. I guarantee an enthusiastic response.

If you want to sponsor a Robot or advertise in our magazine or simply make a donation just call our office. Most personal donations qualify for Gift Aid and most corporate donations qualify for profit tax relief, call us if you need more information.

Thanks to everyone who has supported us this year, we are as ever so grateful for your efforts and generosity. Thanks to our amazing office team and our hard working Honorary Trustees, this year, your hard work has taken us to a new level.

The

S.M.A.R.T.

way to host a prosecco event

T

hank you Fiona Coppard, a member of Laptops and Lipstick, a business group for women, for hosting a prosecco event with a difference on Saturday 6th October at Oxted Community Hall.

Fiona, owner of Smart Nutrition and Fitness, along with special guest Regina Kerschbaumer, organised an afternoon of yoga and valuable advice on smart balance in midlife.

On arrival, guests received a welcome juice and trail mix.

Fiona then talked about how women can get through all of the changes and demands made on them at this time in their lives. She also demonstrated different ways of exercise to help bone, cognitive and muscle strength.

This was followed by an hour of yin yoga to relax the body and mind with specialist yoga instructor Regina.

The day concluded with tasters of different foods that are good for women in midlife, for example, chickpea salad and spicy lentil soup, polished off with glass of prosecco!

Camden Grove Annual Street Party

O

n Saturday 21st July, the residents of Camden Grove in Chislehurst held their annual street party.

The Close was transformed into an amazing beach party festival! The residents decorated their houses with themed signs outside their front doors.

There was various bands performing on stage throughout the day and into the night. They also held traditional games, like the tug of war and even had a human fruit machine! Thank you to all the residents of Camden Grove for your wonderful support. Special thanks also to Mary of Mary and Mick Design for nominating us.

for his match. Kindly arranged with pilot Mike Utahan, who donated the helicopter ride, the plan was to arrive in style. However, not a graceful exit as planned much to the amusement of his fellow cricketers!

It was an open event so that anyone could pop in and join in the fun. Charlie Chartwell also made an appearance. Becky said: “Despite the weather, which was typically torrential rain ALL day, we had a really good turnout.” She definitely did as they raised over £2,200! Amazing.

THE MAGIC OF AV1: The No Isolation Robot

Pioneering technology keeping young Cancer and Leukaemia patients connected to school life, education, friendship and normality as they undergo treatment.

A

n estimated 35,000 children in the UK are battling long-term illness and the traumatic upheaval to their lives and inevitable absences from school can be as devastating as the illness itself. For educators and parents, there has been a frustrating lack of solutions to alleviate the isolation and disruption that these children suffer from as a result of their illness - until now.

INTRODUCING THE AV1 ROBOT Norwegian company No Isolation have developed an ingeniously simple answer in the form of a compact, portable robot. Equipped with microphone, loudspeaker and camera, the AV1 robot acts as the child’s eyes, ears and voice and livestreams direct to a phone or tablet via an app offering a seamless, interactive connection with school wherever the child is. Its handy portability allows the child to participate in every aspect of school life - all being so important for their wellbeing and social development.

OUR COMMITMENT As part of our ongoing commitment to improving and enhancing cancer care for young people in London and the South East, The Chartwell Cancer Trust are working with No Isolation to expand the use of this technology in the UK and introduce these life-changing robots in hospitals and schools across South London and Kent.

To date, we have raised funds and built partnerships to support up to

12 trials with young patients with resoundingly successful outcomes reported by the children, medical staff and teachers alike.

OUR FUNDRAISING CHALLENGE We have a vision - to extend the provision of this transformational technology within our community and eliminate isolation and exclusion amongst our children with long-term illnesses.

With tried and tested results, we are now looking for partners and sponsors to help us raise the funds and realise our ambitions to bring these lifechanging robots to more young people who are desperately in need of a life-line back to their education, peer groups and everyday lives.

Grateful thanks to our first ‘Robot Sponsors’ - partners and staff of Messrs. Clarkson Wright & Jakes, Solicitors and VINCI spearheaded by Paulette West. You have just changed a young child’s life.

If you are interested in supporting this pioneering project using technical innovation to change children’s lives, please get in touch to discuss sponsorship opportunities with us.

CONTACT: Michael Douglas, Hon. Trustee, The Chartwell Cancer Trust EMAIL: michael607douglas@btinternet.com CALL: 07760 786 881

“

Every day our young patients suffer from extreme isolation - cut off from their world of school and friendships at a critical time developmentally, when they need their support networks most. These little robots have the power to open up the world again for these children and mitigate the educational and social rupture caused by cancer.

”

Claire Smith, Teacher at Queen Elizabeth Hospital School.

SOPHIE’S WISH Sophie Powell had inspiration and loved fundraising, particularly for children, like herself, with serious illnesses. She especially loved fundraising for the CCT Tiger Ward, a charity close to her heart, having spent much of her time on Tiger Ward receiving treatment.

S

ophie and her family holidayed on the Isle of Wight several times, including the year Sophie was diagnosed with cancer. To Sophie and her family, this was the ideal location.

A beautiful island with stunning beaches and plenty of things to do as a family, come rain or shine. Spending family time away, safe in the knowledge that there is a Paediatric Oncology Unit close by on the Island in case of an emergency.

Sophie’s wish was to raise enough money to buy a permanent holiday home for use by families with children battling cancer so that they could have fun and make special memories. To her it was a magical place across the sea, but not too far away, a perfect UK holiday destination.

Common sense tells us that this was an almost impossible dream, but sometimes dreams can come true.

When it comes to fundraising the Powell family and their family of friends are top class. In a very short time – and inspired by Sophie - they raised over £100,000 in her memory. This is Sophie’s legacy.

Common sense tells us that this was an almost impossible dream, but sometimes dreams can come true.

SOPHIE’S WISH THE SEARCH FOR A HOLIDAY HOME BEGINS

After visiting to the Isle of Wight a few times looking at various holiday homes around the Island, purely by chance, Sophie’s mum Karen came across a beautiful Lodge. Located at Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park, Bembridge, it has stunning views in an idyllic beach location. The site has an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, bundles of entertainment for all the family, crazy golf, playgrounds, two restaurants, a pub, and of course a club house! The spacious three bedroomed Lodge is fully furnished to a high standard. It has its own private decking area and a car parking bay.

GRAND OPENING

On Sunday 14th October the Powell family, with around 40 friends, decorated the Lodge with balloons and bows.

Sophie’s twin sister Emma cut the ribbon naming the Lodge ‘Sophie’s Wish’ and a purple plaque takes pride of place over the front door. Sophie’s mum Karen, her dad Steve and Emma proposed a toast to Sophie and the family let off the balloons. Karen, Steve and Emma presented the key to the Lodge to CCT Tiger Ward Trustee Natalie Reilly.

Sophie’s wish really had come true; her legacy lives on ….

The Lodge at Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park

THE COLOUR PURPLE

Sophie’s mum Karen, her dad Steve and twin sister Emma officially open the Lodge

Sophie was a kind, loving and caring girl, who inspired people to care for others less fortunate. She found a social conscience at a very young age. The Lodge received its first guests during the half term holiday and we know that they enjoyed every moment.

What made this Lodge all the more special was the decoration and soft furnishings. Everything was tastefully decorated in purple; Sophie’s favourite colour. Sophie would love it. The decision was made there and then. We just had to have it and the deal was done!

The rooms are tastefully decorated in hints of purple...

Sophie’s favourite colour!

Thank you Sophie, Karen, Emma and Steve and your amazing family and friends. Thank you for trusting us to take care of ‘Sophie’s Wish’. Her wish will bring lots of happiness and everlasting memories to more families than you could imagine. We love you all.

Festival of Flight A MILESTONE IN AVIATION HISTORY Report by Barbara Field-Holmes

The London Biggin Hill Festival of Flight took place at London Biggin Hill Airport on 18th and 19th August 2018. This year’s festival coincided with the 100th Anniversary of The Royal Air Force (RAF100), and there was an exciting atmosphere as spectators waited to watch the wonderful air displays and ground shows specially put on to celebrate this proud and momentous milestone in British aviation history.

T

here were some wonderful air displays and re-enactments of wartime Britain, including the famous Red Arrows and the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. Although the weather was a little cloudy, it was relatively clear, the sun shone and there was a late summer breeze. It didn’t stop spectators from enjoying the displays, or some of the other many stalls and amusements in the fair.

CCT organisers and volunteers

In addition to commemorating the RAF’s centenary year, the team at Biggin Hill Airport also launched the next 100 years of aviation by inspiring local youth to pursue careers in the industry. Funding needed for its proposal to create the London Aerospace of Technology College has been secured and construction of a dedicated new training facility, located on the airport estate, is due to be completed by 2020. The college, which will be owned and operated by London & South East Colleges, will provide training for the next generation of aircraft technicians leading to well-paid and highly skilled jobs to local youngsters, many of whom are still at school today.

The Chartwell Cancer Trust once again had its own private VIP marquee on Saturday 18th August, to which 250 supporters attended, and had a ‘front seat’ view of the runway from its own private ‘garden’. On arrival guests were greeted with a complimentary glass of bubbly.

The C&K FUNdraising Magazine Issue 26 – 2018

Jamie and Zoe Cook and their team from Fayre Do’s provided the catering throughout the day.

As before, there was a scrumptious choice of hot and cold dishes for lunch, followed by puddings, and later in the afternoon there were plenty of sandwiches and cakes to go around, accompanied by tea, coffee, soft drinks or something stronger from the pay bar.

Throughout the day there was a Silent Auction, with many exciting prizes donated by local businesses and individuals, which raised £2,200. There was also a mobile phone ‘raffle’ where guests all put £10 in to enter and at the end of the afternoon three lucky winners were picked out. The winners generously donated their prize money back to The CCT. It was a truly wonderful day, and overall around £10,000 was raised for The CCT. Special thanks must go to London BH Airport for letting us hold our event once more, to Fayre Do’s for their excellent catering, to all those who donated prizes for the Silent Auction, and members of The CCT Events Committee – Rachel Wallis and Andrew and Elaine Snelgrove.

SIMPLY MAGIC Report by Barbara Field-Holmes

ike other Foresters’ branches (known as Courts), Nelson’s Pride holds a number of social events throughout the year to raise funds for their chosen charity. Each year, all branches support the national charity, which is chosen by the High Chief Ranger (similar to a President). In addition, the Chief Ranger of each branch chooses his/her own local charity to support. Avril Ashford, Chief Ranger at Nelson’s Pride chose The Chartwell Cancer Trust, and has been busy raising funds from charity teas held at St Mary’s the Virgin church in Hayes Street, Hayes, through raffles and at the special events such as the Magic Afternoon in September.

Mike the magician kept members entertained with his James Bond magic show, demonstrating his skills with card tricks based on well-known James Bond books, ably assisted by ‘Miss Moneypenny’ (Avril). Members of the audience were also invited up to assist Mike. After the magic show April presented Barbara with the cheque and then everyone sat down to a scrumptious tea with sandwiches, cakes and scones with cream and jam. Proceeds from a raffle will be added to the next cheque to be presented to The CCT. Avril Ashford commented, “The Foresters Friendly Society has been helping with family finances since 1834. Foresters are one of the few remaining friendly societies and as well as caring for and supporting their own members, they raise money for various local and national charities across the country. The national charity this year chosen by the High Chief Ranger is Action on Hearing Loss; last year nationally we raised in excess of £68,000 for the Air Ambulance.

Previous charities we have supported as a Society have been Canine Partners, Barnardo’s, Alzheimer’s, Guide Dogs for the Blind and many more.

“It gives me great pleasure to present The Chartwell Cancer Trust with a cheque for £937.10, which is money we have raised over the past two years.”

Air Smiles Day with fly2help We were delighted when aviation charity fly2help contacted The CCT to invite some of the families from The CCT’s Childhood Cancer Support Groups to be recipients of their Charity Air Smiles Day on Friday 17th August.

I

t was a wonderful opportunity for our families to do something together and to escape for a day from the struggles of their daily lives to create long-lasting happy memories.

The group met in the morning at the Lookout Café at Biggin Hill Airport.

The weather could not have been any better, a perfect day for flying.

The families were split into three teams; Hurricane, Spitfire and Hawk to take part in the various sessions planned throughout the day. This included taking to the skies on an amazing 30-minute flight aboard one of fly2helps’s specialist light aircrafts. For some, this was the first time they had ever flown!

The teams spent time with the London Fire Brigade trying out their equipment, including firing the hoses and dressing up in their uniforms. They also rode on a fire engine with the sirens flashing and whirring – loudly!

They participated in a crime scene investigation with the Metropolitan 28

Police that involved taking fingerprints and ‘mug’ shots (photos). Thankfully, no arrests! There were several police officers from various sections, including police dogs Ramsey and Riley entertaining everyone with their special police training skills. The riot van also proved extremely popular, as it was equipped with lots of specialist equipment for the children to play with.

Other activities throughout the day included face painting, balloon modelling and a magic show.

In the afternoon, all eyes turned to the sky for the arrival of the fabulous Red Arrows (The Royal Air Force’s Aerobic Team). Everyone was mesmerised by their special aerobatic manoeuvres as they came in to land. The pilots then popped in to say hello, spending time chatting to the families, handing out posters and taking photos.

Georgina Godfree, the programme delivery co-ordinator at fly2help, said: “For over a decade, we’ve been working to create life-changing

experiences for young people who deserve it the most. Fly2help uses the wonder of flight to give its beneficiaries a boost; I’m so pleased we’ve been able to provide this fantastic experience for families from The Chartwell Cancer Trust.”

Georgina not only organised the whole day, but also personally made a fantastic Chocolate Guinness cake, which everyone agreed tasted delicious.

The event concluded with the Mayor of Bromley, Councillor Kim Botting, presenting each family with flight certificates and goodie bags and thanked everyone, including fly2help and The CCT, for making it such a special day.

Michelle Simpson representing The CCT said: “This incredible ‘Air Smiles Day’ was sponsored by two of fly2help’s individual supporters; we are so thankful to them for enabling this day to happen. Thank you Georgina and fly2help, the Police, the London Fire Brigade, the fly2help Pilots and the Red Arrows for making the day so special. Also huge thanks to Signature Flight Support, London Biggin Hill Airport, Fayre Do’s Location and Event Caterers, the Lookout Café, Krazy K Parties, Hoopstar Entertainment as well as all the fly2help staff, volunteers and supporters who gave up their time to help out. We were honoured to be the beneficiaries of such a wonderful day.”

WARBOAR GAMES CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE CCT

O

n 11th August, Warboar Games hosted its annual Star Wars X-Wing store Championship event at its Bromley Board game cafe and gaming store.

There was a slightly smaller turnout than previous years as a new edition of the game was being launched in September. But this didn’t stop a bunch of eager pilots descending onto Bromley.

Jason Grimwood, Director of Warboar, uses these events to help raise funds for The Chartwell Cancer Trust and CCT Tiger Ward.

This time, he decided to open up the tournament to the online X-Wing community. This received amazing support as they all bought raffle tickets because of the many fantastic prizes on offer. Jason ended up writing out almost 1000 raffle tickets, but it was worth it, because it raised around a staggering £2000!

Jason said: “Warboar Games continues to support The Chartwell Cancer Trust and always in support of its most famous pilot at the store, Annamaria Ong, who will forever be in our hearts.”

Thank you to Warboar Games for continuing to support us and to everyone who took part.

SKYDIVE! We had nine amazing skydivers who took the plunge on Saturday 15th September. We have been so lucky with our tandem skydive days this year.

Each time the weather has been perfect, and this day was no exception.

A

ll of our jumpers arrived early as planned, checked in and received their training briefing. Our jumpers were all very excited and keen to get going and it was not too long before the first of our jumpers set off with their individual tandem skydive instructors.

Our incredibly brave jumpers were Louisa Robins of Direct Line, Ann-Marie Peel, Beckie Pepperrell, Billy Hick, Louisa Vallins, Kelly Webb, Stephanie Bishop, Damien Tysoe and Thomas Ryan.

Supported by families and friends, we watched them take off, climbing to the dizzy heights up to 12,000 feet. You can just about see the plane, by now, a tiny dot. This is followed by some more tiny dots (our skydivers) beginning their descent with a freefall and a few twists and turns (as discussed with their instructors!). Then, all you can see is a gorgeous blue sky filled with colourful parachutes floating to the ground.

Everyone landed safely but there was some added drama for poor Damien. His parachute became tangled. For safety’s sake, it was released and his reserve parachute used instead.

Congratulations to Billy and Beckie

CHILDHOOD CANCER SUPPORT GROUPS NEWS

GROUP MEET-UPS T

he CCT Bromley and Croydon Childhood Cancer Support Groups enjoyed an exclusive visit to Heads, Shoulders, Knees & Toes in The Glades, Bromley on Tuesday 7th August. This amazing, interactive experience took our inquisitive young minds on a journey through the weird and wonderful world of the human body. Our ‘Junior Doctors’ had a great time finding out what happens inside their bodies, for example, what happens to your lungs when you sneeze? Why do you laugh when you are tickled? They also went into the dark oxygen tank to find out how and why it is important that we breathe. It was such an interesting way of learning, whilst having lots of fun at the same time!

The groups then enjoyed a lovely leisurely brunch in Giraffe World Kitchen, which gave everyone the chance to have a proper catch-up.

GROUP MEET-UPS O

n Sunday 19th August 2018, The CCT Tiger Ward Childhood Cancer Support Group families met at Greenwich Theatre, to watch a performance of The Jungle Book. On arrival, the families stepped into the deep dark jungle, drums played in the distance and wild animals slept on the stage. Monkeys leaped around the families, making lots of noise and being very cheeky. Throughout the show, the families went on an amazing adventure, meeting all the different jungle characters including Mowgli along the way. The children also got to meet the cast and ask questions when they were invited on stage. Thank you to Director, James Haddrell, for allowing the group to meet the cast. It was a perfect special family summer treat.

O

n Monday 20th August, The CCT Frog Childhood Cancer Support Group met at a new playroom on Rupert Bear Ward for an afternoon of fun and entertainment. The children were very excited, and it was not too long before Louise from Kinder Parties had them all engaged and taking part in a variety of energetic activities! All of the games were perfect for the broad age range of the children who were there, which made sure that everyone joined in. After all the dancing and playing, Louise gave all of the children glitter transfers and made animal balloons of their choice to take home. The afternoon concluded with a healthy buffet supplied by the CafĂŠ in Greenwich Centre. Everyone had a fantastic time.

GROUP MEET-UPS W

e were thrilled when Neil Smith, the Manager at Bromley FC invited The CCT Bromley and Croydon Childhood Cancer Support Groups to join the first team at their training session on Thursday 23rd August, followed by lunch with the players.

It was a rainy start to the day, but that did not put anyone off, as everyone had a great time watching the team train. The children were then invited onto the pitch for a kick about with the players, before trying their luck against the goalie!

Everyone then headed into the Ravens bar for lunch where the children got to spend more time with the players! Thank you so much to Bromley FC for ensuring that the children had such a brilliant afternoon and for the great video of the goals being scored!

O

n Sunday 2nd September, the Bromley and Frog Childhood Cancer Support Group had a ‘chill out morning’ at Warboar Games & Paradice Board Game Café with a special guest visitor, children’s author Lawrence Prestidge. Lawrence chatted about how he became involved in writing and read out some very funny excerpts from his bestselling books ‘Terror at the Sweet Shop’ and ‘Can such things be?’ his most recent novel. He also took questions before signing copies of his books for the children to take home. The group spent the rest of the morning learning how to paint miniature models and characters, and took part in board gaming sessions. Everyone had a great time meeting Laurence, relaxing and having fun together. Thank you to the Warbour team for being such wonderful hosts and for everyone (mostly the Reed family!) who gave up their time to help and join in the fun.

It was an Hawaiian-themed evening, with an extended DJ licence featuring a Latino band called ‘The Latin Bridge’ and many cocktails! It was great fun and a fantastic success. Thank you to Manager, Tina, for choosing us and to all of the staff at O’Neill’s.

CCT NEWS

ARE YOU

BRAVE ENOUGH? After weeks of glorious sunshine prior to the planned wing-walk, typically, a week before, the weather took a turn for the worse. It was cloudy, windy with lots of heavy rain! Fortunately, however, on the morning of Saturday 11th August, it was sunny and dry with plenty of blue sky and light winds. Our wing-walkers were good to go!

T

his year we had five fabulous wing-walkers, including our first gentleman, at last! Why has there only been one until now? Well, we have had plenty of eager and VERY brave (of course!) male applicants. However, as soon as we start discussing the matter of height and WEIGHT, let us just say, as delicately as possible, that is as far as they get!

And... take off!

Our five fabulous wing-walkers

Oliver, strapped in and ready

Our wing-walking team arrived at 10.30 for their briefing with families and friends. They were all very excited and only (for now) a little nervous. Their pilot, Tony Richards, had made them feel very welcome and calm!

We were amazed at how confidently she walked up to the plane and climbed on without any hesitation. It was not long before she was strapped in safely. After giving the ‘thumbs up’, she courageously set off soaring and dipping at heights of up to 600 feet. After, Sian said: ‘I now can tick that off my list but will NEVER do that again!’ Well done Sian.

Melanie Smith... not looking nervous at all!

Sian Delahaye was nervous but amazed us with her confidence

The Perfect Way to See

London’s Landmarks Thank you to valued supporters Kerri and Danny Baker for organising a fantastic boat party on the River Thames on Saturday 25th August in aid of CCT Tiger Ward.

I

t was a beautiful summer’s evening and a perfect way for family and friends to get together. What better excuse than to party the night away, on the open top deck of the ‘Valulla’ whilst taking in the excellent views of London’s most iconic landmarks. Guests boarded the Riverboat at Westminster Pier with its impressive backdrop of the London Eye and Houses of Parliament. The boat was decorated with twinkly lights, balloons, pom-poms and posters. It cruised leisurely along the River Thames towards Tower Bridge, taking in the beautiful sunset over the stunning architecture of our beautiful City. It was an evening full of music, dancing and laughter. Thank you so much to Kerri, Amie and Clare for all your hard work in ensuring that everyone had such a fantastic night.

We are very grateful to ‘Team Lewis’ for their continued support. Earlier in the year, on a very rainy May day, Inside, our boat is tastefully decked out!

five members of ‘Team Lewis’ took part in our O2 climb. In June, eight very brave members, including Kerri, took part in our team skydive.

Both Danny and Alan had already jumped for us in July 2016. To date ‘Team Lewis’ have raised over £7,200 for CCT Tiger Ward, an amazing achievement.

Special thanks also to Dave from Reeds River Cruises for donating the boat, for driving the boat and providing the disco! More information can be found at www.reedsrivercruises.co.uk

Team ‘Hoof Hearted’ enjoy the spoils of their win in ‘Bra Pong’!

hank you to long term supporter Theresa Hobbs for hosting a Prosecco Soirée in aid of CCT Tiger Ward.

As well as a raffle, the party played ‘Guess the Grapes’.

There were also some very interesting games played including ‘Bra Pong’! Split into two teams with inspired names of ‘Hot Lips’ and ‘ Hoof Hearted’, the aim was for each team to get four ping pong balls into one of the five different sized Bra Cups. The smaller the cup, the more points were awarded. Congratulations to Team ‘Hoof Hearted’ for wining!

It was a fun evening with plenty of Prosecco and nibbles!

Theresa said: “The evening was a great success and we raised £300 whilst having so much fun.” Many thanks to Angela Trevatt, Julie Seabrook, Paula Cook, Tracey Giles, Kim Lewis, Jenny Holden, Jan Parfett and Danielle who came on the night and to Becky Hobbs, Carla Stevens, Pauline Peppiat, Daphney Trevatt and Terry and Cheryl Hinton for still donating, despite not being able to attend.

YOU’RE A ‘STAR’, BEN

C

ongratulations to Ben Simpson, a patient on Tiger Ward, who recently won a school competition after submitting his story about his initial treatment.

A proud Ben Simpson

And his Certificate

Ben, sadly passed away, before the magazine was published and this is a tribute to him.

Star

By Ben Simpson The first day I went to hospital it was in an ambulance. I had fallen asleep but woke up in the ambulance with my Mum and Nan. It Was a very bumpy ride: Ambulance s do not drive smooooothly.

I didn’t know what was happening but when we got to the hospital my family came to see me and then I had my operation.

When I woke up my head was hurti ng but I had the best scar in the world!

All of my family came to see me in hospi tal and brought me lots of presents like a Playstation4!

A week before Christmas the doctors said I could go home. I didn’t want to go in an ambulance so my Uncle Tony took me home in his smart car.

He wrapped me up in a big blanket to keep me warm. I looked really funny. Just like E.T. It was a long ride home but I didn’t want to sleep because I wanted to think about seeing all my family.

When I got home they tucked me up on the sofa opposite the Christmas. I couldn’t stop looking at it, it was so beautiful. But then I was there was no star at the top.

Then my Nan picked me up and gave me the Golden Star.

They’d saved it for me and I put it on the tree.

It was the best Christmas ever.

I really was home!

IN MEMORY OF OUR BELOVED GRANDSON ROBBIE HANNAM

By Lynne Warner

I

JC

n October 2012, we sadly lost our Grandson Robbie Hannam, at the age of 7yrs. Robbie was an inspiration to us all, even at such a young age. He entered a competition to name a new Ward that was to be opened at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich. Our family were so proud that he won and ‘Tiger Ward’ was named. We strive at any opportunity to help raise money for the families on Tiger Ward. In August of this year, my husband Fred who is the captain of his team ‘The Jury’ at Clacton Golf Club, held a charity day which raised over £1,000. Robbie’s brothers, Mitchell and Jayden, were also there to draw the raffle.

Thank you to Lynne, Fred, their friends and family for such wonderful and heartfelt support.

CCT NEWS – KING’S UPDATE

A ‘FEEL GOOD’ MEET-UP

W

e were delighted to host our very first King’s Childhood Cancer Support Group meet up for our King’s Teenagers on Saturday 22nd September. It was a fun and informal, skincare and make-up workshop organised by ‘Look Good Feel Better’, a charity that specialises in offering practical advice to help people manage the side effects of cancer treatment. Everyone was given a goody bag when they arrived, which contained an abundance of skincare and make-up products to use during the session, which they also got to take home. The Look Good Feel Better team demonstrated how to create the perfect make-over and the group got to practice and experiment on themselves asking questions as they went along.

It was a lovely afternoon in a relaxed, informal setting and also a good opportunity for everyone to chat and get to know each other. It was a great success and we will be looking to hosting future workshops on a regular basis.

Thank you to Look Good Feel Better, to Kathryn Hair and the Macmillan Centre at King’s College Hospital for allowing us use of their room. For more information on Look Good Feel Better workshops and where they are held please visit www.lookgoodfeelbetter.co.uk.

Plans are on-going for the makeover of the cubicles, playroom and much needed medical equipment on the children’s Paediatric Oncology Shared Unit (POSCU), King’s College Hospital.

CWJ is a fifth generation family law firm, which although originally based in Lincoln’s Inn at the heart of London’s legal quarter, has always had its soul in the leafy Kent suburbs around Orpington. So it was no surprise that the firm permanently relocated here in 1951.

With commercial clients ranging in size from sole traders to large public companies and other institutions such as schools, charities and medical practices; it has accumulated extensive experience of the legal issues faced by businesses and other organisations.

If you are facing any issue with legal implications, it is essential that you get the best help and legal advice, no matter what it concerns. In all cases, having the right lawyers on your side can make all the difference to the outcome. The solicitors at CWJ will analyse your particular circumstances and give sound judgements based on their specialist knowledge and experience.

to rigorous standards of quality and best practices. CWJ’s commitment to client service was recognised last year when we were awarded the LawNet Excellence in Client Care award for 2017/18.

Contributing to the community CWJ’s aim is to make a positive difference to the local community in which we live and work. As you would expect from a firm with our history, we are involved in a range of community activities, however, three years ago we decided to support one main cause a year and embarked on a Charity of the Year programme. Over the last two years we have helped The Maypole Project and Foal Farm Animal Rescue.

HEALTHCARE ADVICE

Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that develops in the lining that covers the outer surface of some of the body’s organs, and is usually linked to asbestos exposure. More than 2,600 people are diagnosed with the condition each year in the UK.

M

esothelioma mainly affects the lining of the lungs (pleural mesothelioma), although it can also affect the lining of the tummy (peritoneal mesothelioma), heart or testicles. Most cases are diagnosed in people aged 60-80 and men are affected more commonly than women.

Unfortunately, it’s rarely possible to cure Mesothelioma, although treatment can help control the symptoms.

Causes Mesothelioma is almost always caused by exposure to asbestos, a group of minerals made of microscopic fibres that used to be widely used in construction. These tiny fibres can easily get in the lungs, where they get stuck, damaging the lungs over time. It usually takes a while for this to cause any obvious problems, with Mesothelioma typically developing more than 20 years after exposure to asbestos.

The use of asbestos was completely banned in 1999, so the risk of exposure is much lower nowadays. However, materials containing asbestos are still found in many older buildings.

Symptoms Symptoms develop gradually and typically don’t appear until several decades after exposure to asbestos.

Symptoms of Mesothelioma in the lining of the lungs include: • chest pain • shortness of breath • fatigue (extreme tiredness) • high temperature (fever) and sweating, particularly at night • a persistent cough • loss of appetite and unexplained weight loss • clubbed (swollen) fingertips Symptoms of Mesothelioma in the lining of the tummy include: • tummy pain or swelling • feeling or being sick • loss of appetite and unexplained weight loss • diarrhoea or constipation See your GP if you have any persistent or worrying symptoms. Tell them about any exposure to asbestos you may have had in the past.

How Mesothelioma is diagnosed If your GP suspects Mesothelioma, they will refer you to a hospital specialist for some tests. A number of different tests may need to be carried out, including: • an X-ray of your chest or tummy • a computerised tomography (CT) scan – a number of X-ray images are taken to create a detailed image of the inside of the body

• fluid drainage – if there’s a build-up of fluid around the lungs or in the tummy, a sample may be removed using a needle inserted through the skin so the fluid can be analysed • a thoracoscopy or laparoscopy – the inside of your chest or tummy is examined with a long, thin camera that’s inserted through a small cut (incision) under sedation or anaesthetic; a sample of tissue (biopsy) may be removed so it can be analysed These tests can help diagnose Mesothelioma and show how far it has spread.

Treatments The best treatment for Mesothelioma depends on several factors, including how far the cancer has spread and your general health.

As Mesothelioma is often diagnosed at an advanced stage, treatment is usually focused on controlling the symptoms and prolonging life for as long as possible. This is known as palliative or supportive care.

Possible treatments include: • Chemotherapy – this is the main treatment for Mesothelioma and involves using medicine to help shrink the cancer • Radiotherapy – this involves using high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells and it may be used to slow the cancer down and keep it under control • Surgery – an operation to remove the cancerous area can be done if Mesothelioma is detected at a very early stage, although it’s not clear whether surgery is helpful You’ll also probably have treatment for your individual symptoms to help you feel as comfortable as possible. For example, regularly draining fluid from your chest may help your breathing and strong painkillers may help relieve your pain.

Sometimes, a procedure is carried out to stop the fluid coming back again by making the outside of the lungs stick to the inside of your chest (pleurodesis), or a tube is put in your chest to drain the fluid regularly at home. Your doctors should discuss these treatments with you.

Outlook Unfortunately the outlook for Mesothelioma tends to be poor. This is because it doesn’t usually cause any obvious symptoms until late on and it can progress quite quickly once it reaches this stage.

Overall, around half (50%) of people with Mesothelioma will live at least a year after diagnosis and around one in every 10 people (10%) with Mesothelioma will live at least five years after diagnosis.

CCT EARLY WARNING UPDATE

F

or some years, Alex and Gina had wanted to organise an event where they could donate their lovely long hair to charity whilst raising funds at the same time. With Michelle’s and The Glades’ support they decided to organise a Prosecco Soirée with a twist on Tuesday 21st August with family and friends! The event was in aid of The Little Princess Trust, a national charity that creates wigs for little ones dealing with cancer, and The CCT. It took place in the VIP area of The Glades so that as many people as possible could attend. Talented hairdresser Lucia Krjcova from Unique hair salon cut their hair. The girls had been growing their hair for more than 10 years but knew they were in safe hands. She made them feel relaxed and comfortable the whole time. Lucia cut 80cm off Alex’s hair and 50cm off Gina’s, a total of 130cm donated to The Little Princess Trust. They also raised over £500 for The CCT. Alexandra said: “We honestly felt so overwhelmed seeing how many wonderful people understood our cause. Thank you so much to everyone who donated, attended and supported us.”

LEGAL ADVICE

A GUIDE TO LASTING POWERS OF ATTORNEY

T

he unfortunate possibility of not being able to manage your own finances and affairs is a consideration that ought to be made by all. Although the thought of not being able to maintain independent self-management is an unpleasant one, addressing the possibility and making provision for such circumstances can avoid a multitude of difficulties. The following guide explains what a lasting power of attorney is, how it is created and managed and the benefits that it can offer.

A lasting power of attorney (LPA) is a legal document that allows an individual (the donor) to appoint one or more people (the attorney) to assist in making decisions, or to make decisions on their behalf if they are unable to. Anyone over the age of 18 can make an LPA as long as they have the mental capacity to do so when they create the document.

must be specified as to whether multiple attorneys can make decisions independently or whether all must agree.

The person appointed as attorney must be over 18, have the mental capacity to function in the role and could include: • Relatives • Friends • Spouse • Professionals such as solicitors or accountants.

It is important to consider how well the individual manages their own affairs (particularly their finances), how trustworthy their decision-making is and whether they will act with the best interests of the donor in mind. The appointed attorney will also need to be happy to work in the role and make potentially difficult decisions.

There are two types of LPA:

MAKING A LASTING POWER OF ATTORNEY The regulated forms must be completed and registered in order for the LPA to be authorised. If they are not, the attorneys will not be able to make decisions on behalf of the donor.

Pishon Gold Solicitors are experienced and can complete the forms on your behalf and ensure the requisite formalities are met to validate your LPA. The LPA automatically ends upon the death of the donor.

Pishon Gold are proud supporters of The Chartwell Cancer Trust. If you are thinking of leaving a gift to support the work of this charity, we are pleased to offer a 10% discount on our standard will writing service.

1. HEALTH AND WELFARE LASTING POWER OF ATTORNEY This LPA is used for individuals who want to give the attorney the power to make decisions in areas such as: • Daily living routine, including washing, eating and dressing • Medical care and treatments • Care workers and/or moving into a care home • Life-sustaining treatment The health and welfare LPA can only be used if the donor is unable to make decisions for themselves i.e has lost mental capacity.

2. PROPERTY AND FINANCIAL AFFAIRS LASTING POWER OF ATTORNEY This LPA is used by donors who want to pass over responsibility for decision making regarding property and finances in the event of their inability to do so. The responsibilities of the attorney in these cases would often include areas such as: • Management of bank and building society accounts • Bill payments • Collecting benefits or pension payments • Selling the donor’s property.

A property and financial affairs LPA can be used as soon as it is registered if the donor requests it.

WHO SHOULD BE THE ATTORNEY One of the most important steps in making the LPA is determining who should act as the attorney. It is possible to appoint more than one person to act as an attorney, but it

CCT ABOUT US

The Chartwell Cancer Trust Supporting The Princess Royal University Hospital

T

he Chartwell Cancer Trust supports the Chartwell Unit at The Princess Royal University Hospital, Farnborough that serves patients from the Bromley Borough, Lambeth, Southwark and beyond in South East London and Kent.

Our first fundraising in 2005 was to cover the cost of an extra Health Care Assistant in the Unit.

We have since grown into a charity providing a range of support for NHS services not only in The PRUH, but the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich, Croydon University Hospital, King’s College Hospital, Guy’s Hospital and St Thomas’ Hospital.

Support at The PRUH includes funding for additional medical staff, capital projects, equipment and training specifically for the Chartwell Unit.

We have raised money for: • T he total refurbishment of the Treatment Suite

and air-conditioning.

•A “Virtual Conferencing” facility for a cancer Multi-Disciplinary Meeting Room to host meetings where important decisions are made about the care and treatment of patients

diagnosed with cancer. The upgrade has greatly benefited all patients diagnosed with cancer within the community that we serve.

•C omputers and laptops for The PRUH’s Virtual Cancer Clinics and the Chartwell Unit.

•S pecialist wheelchairs, medical pumps and nursing equipment for the community nursing teams.

• T he continuation of brain research on Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma research led by Consultant Haematologist, Dr Shireen Kassam.

• I n 2016, we were also instrumental in succeeding to overturn the management decision to close the inpatient Unit, an achievement which we are extremely proud of.

£350,00 FOR A NEW ENDOSCOPY UNIT IN THE PRUH Mr Prakash Sinha, Consultant Oncoplastic Breast and Endocrine Surgeon specialises in breast cancer surgical treatment and surgery of the thyroid gland. He has been a consultant surgeon for the last nine years; his NHS base is The Princess Royal University Hospital.

Mr Sinha has recently been appointed as Medical Director of The PRUH. There is an area that has been allocated for a new Endoscopy Unit to provide treatment for cancers of the bowel and all other areas of the gut. There is no funding available to furnish it and we have agreed with Mr Sinha to raise the £350,000 that is needed.

We rely on our supporters to help make all of this happen through donations and fundraising events.

How you can help: Be a patron / Make a Donation / Join one of our events / Sponsor or organise your own event / Nominate us as your chosen charity / Host an Early Warning Coffee Morning or Prosecco Soirée / Attend one of our charity gala evenings / dinners / theatre nights MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO CANCER CARE DONATE TODAY Web: https:// chartwellcancertrust. charitycheckout.co.uk/Donate Mobile: Text ‘Donate cct 1’ to 88802
