Raffingers Foundation Charity Ball

Charity Ball 2017 Saturday 16 September

Thank you to Raffingers Foundation for hosting this special evening.

We would like to show our support by wishing you Good Luck in raising money for research into pancreatic and ovarian cancer.

Best Wishes to everyone for a lovely evening.

Welcome We are delighted to be holding our first charity ball. Just a few years ago we had an idea. An idea that stemmed from personal loss and the suffering we had witnessed because of cancer, particularly pancreatic and ovarian cancer.

My colleagues and I didn’t want others to go through what we had been through, we wanted to raise awareness and vital funds for those battling cancer and those supporting their loved one’s battle.

This idea formed the basis of Raffingers Foundation and thanks to the support of Raffingers and all of you here tonight, we have been able to make this idea a reality.

Already we have raised over £7,000 for two amazing charities - Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund and Ovarian Cancer Action. We have also this year launched our Raffingers Foundation Fund, where we provide financial support for individuals and families that have been affected by pancreatic and ovarian cancer, providing funding of up to £500. This funding can be used for anything from private counselling to training and equipment.

We are extremely proud of what we have achieved so far, yet more support and awareness is needed.

Each year, 9,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and just 3% of those diagnosed survive the

first five years. Pancreatic cancer has the lowest survival rates of all cancers.

Similarly, UK survival rates of ovarian cancer are amongst the lowest in Europe. About 7,300 women are diagnosed each year and every single day 11 women in the UK die from this terrible disease.

The survival rates for both cancers are startling and show that more needs to be done. Early diagnosis is critical, yet sadly with pancreatic cancer there are no symptoms, and with ovarian cancer half of women face delays of three months or more to get a correct diagnosis. Yet we know early diagnosis is crucial for cancer survival.

So, what can be done?

Raffingers Foundation is run by volunteers, which means all money raised goes directly into the research supported by Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund and Ovarian Cancer Action or directly to those who need it the most.

Tonight, we hope you have fun, dig deep and help us to spread awareness of these terrible diseases.

Lauren Aston, Trustee

Raffingers Foundation Fund

Financial Help for Individuals At Raffingers Foundation we provide financial support for individuals and families that have been affected by pancreatic and ovarian cancer.

Whether you have been affected directly by one of these cancers or are a family member, we can provide funding of up to ÂŁ500. These funds are given to help families who are experiencing financial difficulties and can be used to help with costs, such as private counselling for any family members, training and equipment.

To find out more or to apply, contact lauren@raffingers.co.uk.

WE’RE LOOKING TO IMPROVE THE FUTURE OF PANCREATIC CANCER DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT Despite being the 5th commonest cause of cancer death in the UK, pancreatic cancer receives only 1% of research funding. Research today is key to future hope and success.

Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund is entirely dedicated to improving diagnosis and treatment of the disease by funding cutting-edge investigation today.

But we cannot do this without your help.

Chris Keri-Nagy, theWAYahead £1,135 If you thought a marathon was far, not only did Chris complete the NDW50 (50 mile run), but he also ran the SDW100 (100 mile run) one month later. If that wasn’t impressive enough, he completed the 100 mile run in under 23 hours! We are in awe and so grateful for Chris for doing this all in aid of Raffingers Foundation.

If you’re up for a challenge, why not do it for Raffingers Foundation?!
