Our Stories
Cancer patients and their families are at the heart of what we do. Read a selection of inspirational stories from the people we’ve helped and hear from those who volunteer and support our work.
Andy’s Story
Andy's prostate cancer diagnosis ultimately left him with severe incontinence and other ongoing health issues. He now wants to raise awareness about the need for more public venues to have bins for men in their facilities.
Jayne’s story
Jayne saw her step-dad pass away from prostate cancer and has had two lots of cancer operations herself - she wants to use her experience to help others and has become a valued cancer champion.
Alice’s Story
Marc’s daughter Alice Christian vows to continues his legacy for Lingen Davies
Catherine’s Story
Catherine found a peppercorn-sized lump in her breast and since then has had recurring breast cancer. She shares her experience to help and suppport others.
A big thank you to Graham Tranter, who is currently receiving treatment at the Lingen Davies Cancer Centre and raised £534.50 at his 80th birthday party.
Thanks also to Deb Howlett who raised £468.50 from a recent garden party she held. Deb has been a very keen supporter and volunteer since her cancer diagnosis years ago. She is pictured here with her 12-year-old niece Lily who helped her out at the party and accompanies Deb to lots of our events.
Lastly Weston Under Red Castle donated £3,000 from their Village Show in August.
A HUGE thank you to all of these supporters! ... See MoreSee Less

Well done 👏
We want to say a BIG thank you to all the Lingen Davies volunteers who pitch up to help us at all our events, in the office, at the Lingen Davies Cancer Centre, with merchandise, spreading cancer champion awareness and in many other ways - including being a trustee which is totally voluntary!
Here are just a few of those who were on hand to help our T!tty Trail run so smoothly!
Thank you so much for all you do!
If you’d like to offer any of your time, no matter how much, please get in touch we’d love to hear from you!

All the volunteers help is very much appreciated… we had a lovely day on Saturday and these things are only possible when others give up their time! Thank you all xx
Thank you so much everyone. Was a lovely day and very well organised. See you next year 😄 🤣 Ps absolutely love the coaster x
Well done. Excellent.
A BIG WELL DONE to the 200+ walkers who showed up and walked 10 miles today in a challenge to raise funds and awareness of breast cancer.
We’ve had a lovely chat with our loan walkers, family groups, work groups, friendships groups, walking groups and groups from down the pub.
Thank you all for entering and for raising funds which will go towards local cancer services and support in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin and Mid Wales.
We’ve been joined by breast cancer survivors, people who have just been diagnosed, people who have lost people they love to breast cancer, people who’ve had cancer scares but it’s turned out ok after they got checked and people who just wanted to challenge themselves and do something nice for charity.
It’s lovely to see the smiley faces come back and hearing that people have enjoyed the walk and found it therapeutic to be out in the great Shropshire countryside.
We’ve had mile markers along the route telling people about some of the key signs and symptoms of breast cancer, which can affect people of any age, men and women.
So please keep checking yourself for signs and keep talking about it.
With thanks to:

I was told that there is no solution to my health issues only managing them, but contacting Dr. Enato changed everything. I was diagnosed with HSV 1&2 and Lupus for years now, but after using Dr. Enato herbs, I have been healed completely.
