It is therefore a huge privilege to be working with CRUK and be part of the inspiration Coventry and Warwickshire Business Beats Cancer Board"

"I am excited to be part of the Business Beats Cancer Coventry & Warwickshire board and to use my platform to give something back to this incredible cause. Like most people, cancer has impacted my own family – my dad was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2022. Thanks to the most wonderful care and treatment, he is now fully recovered, something I feel so grateful for. I have also seen other family members and friends go through cancer treatment, which is why this cause means so much to me. I am proud to support the fight against cancer, raise awareness of CRUK, and help fund life-saving research."

"They say 1 in 2 people will suffer from some form of cancer throughout their lifetime and seeing this first hand, losing my aunty at 54 and my sister-in-law mother of two at just 32 has been devastating. Cancer Research and the work they have done and are doing is making a difference. It helped my dad and best friend get early diagnosis and they both made a full recovery. Cancer Research UK is making progress and saving lives and I want to be part of the journey of helping more of those affected to save lives and/or buy back time."
