July is #SarcomaAwarenessMonth, an opportunity to raise #awareness about a #cancer form that is less known and for which little research is being conducted. Simply, #sarcoma is still considered to be the “forgotten cancer.” Efforts to encourage research and drug development are made more challenging due to a lack of awareness and understanding. Friends of Charing Cross Hospital is joining the awareness campaign, along with many organisations like @sarcoma_uk @curesarcoma and @sarcomaalliance in their communication efforts.
During Sarcoma Awareness Month the campaign aims to further highlight the extraordinary challenges that sarcoma patients face and the need for more sarcoma research and better sarcoma therapies. Sarcomas are rare cancers that develop in the muscle, bone, nerves, cartilage, tendons, blood vessels and the fatty and fibrous tissues.

They can affect almost any part of the body, on the inside or the outside. 10 people every day are diagnosed with sarcoma in the UK

About 3,800 new cases of sarcoma are diagnosed each year in the UK which makes up approximately 1% of all cancer diagnoses. #communityhealth #focxh #hammersmith #healthforall

This week is #menshealthweek dedicated to raise awareness about men’s health and mental health issues. Know that you can help and make a difference. For many people, starting a conversation about mental health can feel uncomfortable but remember, it could be life changing. Have confidence that it’s the right thing to do and try to see it through. #mentalhealthawareness #communityhealth #hammersmith

Every pound donated by you though our PayPal page

Every pound donated by you though our PayPal page for our spring appeal in solidarity with #strokepatients and @interactstroke will be matched with our own funds, so we can double your generosity. Funds will be used to provide support to newly diagnosed stroke patients through individual reading sessions to stimulate their cognitive capacities in #Hammersmith. Please show your solidarity with vulnerable people in our neighbourhood who are being hit by health hardship.

We can’t let Volunteers’ Week go by without a mention to our #volunteers who have helped us over the years! We appreciate your hard work and commitment and will always be grateful for your contribution 👏👏👏 Happy #volunteerweek! #charingcrosshospital #focxh #hammersmith #fulham #hammersmithandfulham #thankyou

We are delighted to have launched a new #partnership with @interactstroke to support the provision of rehabilitation services to people who have been recently diagnosed with stroke in West London. InterAct Stroke Support tackles these issues with a live, interactive reading service. An InterAct actor/reader will visit the 9 West stroke ward (occasionally others as well) two to three times a week for two hours per visit. They will work with the patients on a one-to-one basis, tailoring the readings and conversation, as much as possible, to the interests and comprehension levels of each patient. We have secured a minimum grant for InterAct but we will match every donation received through our PayPal account, pound per pound, with our own funds, so we will double your solidarity. You can follow the link in our bio or scan the QR code in our post. Please donate generously to help support people in need. #strokesurvivor #strokerecovery #hammersmith #fulham #strokerecovery #poundperpound
