We are raising money for SCaRF - Skin Cancer Research Fund:
The Skin Cancer Research Fund, based at Frenchay Hospital, Bristol, UK. Founded 1979.
Frenchay Hospital is a major centre for the treatment of skin cancer, particularly malignant melanoma for which it has a national and international reputation.
SCaRF, which is a charity, was founded in 1979 by two individuals.. The object was, and is, to raise money for public education and medical research into skin cancer, especially melanoma, and also to aid patient support for those suffering. On 22 September 2005 the magic figure of £1,000,000 had been raised for these purposes. Some of the resulting research publications have helped change the way the disease is managed, such as in pregnant women who develop the disease during pregnancy. Public education involves both adults and children and has spread to schools, with the provision of playground shady areas as prizes for what are now annual competitions under the heading 'Play & Shade', thereby alerting children to the danger of too much sun.
