A masonic lodge has donated £200 towards the Rosemere Cancer Foundation.
The Worshipful Master Robert Winn at Chorley’s New Temple Mark masonic lodge asked members to support the unit to thank staff for the care his wife Sandra received there.
Robert said: “In July 2023, Sandra was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer and received 30 weeks of chemotherapy at the unit.
“Sandra also underwent a lumpectomy at Chorley and South Ribble Hospital and radiotherapy at Rosemere Cancer Centre. Her treatment finished in May this year when we were told Sandra was cancer free.
“Sandra’s survival of this terrible disease is down to the professional and continued efforts of the dedicated staff and access to the facilities that Rosemere Cancer Foundation helps make available.
“We hope this donation towards new equipment will help others in their treatment and recovery.”
The donation was raised by lodge members who contributed to a collection at the end of their meetings.
The Rosemere Cancer Foundation funds cutting-edge equipment, clinical research, staff training and innovative services and initiatives that the NHS cannot afford in order to make patients’ cancer journey more effective, comfortable and stress-free.
