The R.J.L.F was formed in 1983
and is now run by three trustees. Namely,
Bob Johns M.B.E (Roberts Father), Hazel
Cartwright and Roy Cobbledick, in memory of Robert, Son of Bob, who
fought the disease for five long years but unfortunately lost the battle at age
11. His treatment centres were the
Leukaemia, Cancer, Ward 5 at Freedom Fields Hospital in Plymouth Devon for
children. This has now been moved to Plymouth's main hospital, Derriford. Also
the Royal Marsden Hospital in Sutton, Surrey, where in later stages, for bone
marrow and research. The money raised by the fund is
divided between these two centres every year. Few expenses are incurred, as they
are mainly absorbed by the trustees. |
Since the fund was founded in
1983 it has raised over....
£138,124.00
(June 2008)
Half of the money raised has
gone to the Children's Oncology Unit at Derriford Hospital, Plymouth, For new
Equipment and the other half of the money
raised has gone to the Royal Marsden
Hospital to pay for research into this terrible disease
PLEASE HELP US TO RAISE
MORE MONEY IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CHILDHOOD LEUKAEMIA
Well
done Bob for your tireless work in raising funds for this worthwhile cause.
