Скачать или смотреть Kidney Cancer UK - The Nick Maude Memorial Fund

In July 2011, Nick Maude, from Upton Grey near Basingstoke, and Richard Perkins from Winchester cycled the ‘Etape’, a 208km one-day stage of the Tour de France in the Massif Centrale. Tragically, just four months later, Nick Maude died following a late diagnosis of kidney cancer.

To celebrate Nick’s life, friends Richard Perkins, Roger Morgan-Grenville and Simon James pledged to raise funds for Kidney Cancer UK to support an early awareness research programme in Nick's name. To date, they have successfully raised £59,000 for research into kidney cancer, with a target of £90,000. Though the fundraising for the remaining £30,000 goes on, a cheque for monies raised to date was presented in the name of Nick Maude, by Richard and Roger to the kidney cancer research project headed by Dr Maxine Tran and Dr Michael Aitchison, leading lights in the treatment and research of kidney cancer and David Cullen lead nurse in renal cancer at The Renal Cancer Centre at The Royal Free Hospital, London.

Dr Maxine Tran said; “We would like to thank Richard, Roger and Simon and Kidney Cancer UK for donating £59,000 in the name and memory of Nick Maude. We also offer our sincere condolences to Nick’s family for their loss.

“This and future money raised will go to fund a PhD student for three to four years who will perform vital research into the mechanisms, development and progression of kidney cancer. An important aim is to increase our understanding of how kidney cancers behave, improved knowledge will help us find better ways of early detection and treatment, which will ultimately bring us closer to reducing deaths from this silent killer.”

The £59,000 raised to date has been achieved through donations and many events
including Richard, Roger and Simon undertaking individual 2,012 in 2012 challenges, a Call My Wine Bluff’ evening and cycling the 2016 Etape.

Roger, Richard and Simon are continuing on to raise the final £30,000 required to fully fund the PhD student and still need your support. To donate to support this fund and Kidney Cancer UK visit our website at www.kcuk.org.uk/nickmaude.

• In 2013 more than 11,800 people were diagnosed with kidney cancer, that’s about 33 people each day.
• The incidence of kidney cancer has been steadily increasing in the UK, mainly attributed to lifestyle factors, such as obesity and smoking.
• In addition, an increase in the number of tumours detected when a patient has a scan for an unrelated condition may have contributed to the rise in the number of cases.
• Kidney cancer is now the seventh most common cancer in the UK and accounts for three per cent of all new diagnoses of cancer; it is the fifth most common type of cancer in men and the tenth in women.
