Charity | Charity News Events – Success Leicester to Skegness Charity Bike Ride 2014

On Saturday 21^st June 2014 ‘Team HPB’ decided to once again attempt the bike ride challenge and raise even more money. This year we raised money for both liver and pancreas cancer research. No money is provided by the Trust to complete this research and although the government and large granting bodies do support some of the work this is almost exclusively for the higher profile, politically favoured cancers such as lung, breast, bowel and prostate. In addition it is unusual for granting bodies to fund research outside London, Oxford and Cambridge and therefore initiatives such as these are crucial to allow the valuable work in Leicester to continue. Analysing samples to help us learn and understand the processes involved in the development and resistance of cancers is very expensive. This year over £40,000 was raised and donated again towards research undertaken into liver and pancreas cancer at the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust.
