The cause:
All funds go to Harris & Trotter Charitable Trust, a charity funding progressive treatments for rare cancers
I’m Nikki, a 42 year old mum of two with a rare ovarian cancer which seems impossible to be cured right now, but we are trying!
Rare cancers are common. 1 in 5 cancer tumours are classified as ‘rare’. Read more about tumour types are here.
With hundreds of tumour types, the rarer ones are less researched, less understood and less treatable.
Many treatments (like new forms of immunotherapy) will only be licenced by the NHS for common tumour types. Progressive treatments need to be experimented with in order to get real, live data about what works. These have to be paid for by the recipient or a charity. I have been on a new form of immunotherapy for 6 months, all thanks to the Harris & Trotter Charitable Trust. My treatment costs £8k every three weeks.
So without this charity, I may not be here.
There are many, many people like me, who have exhausted all options through the NHS. The charity gives them a lifeline; a chance for our amazing oncologists to give something a try, even if there is just a small chance of a cure. Yet without these live experiments, we will never know.
Please Please Please show your support by getting your Christmas gifts in our pop up shop!
As a lecturer at the University of the Arts, London for the past 13 years, an artist and a maker, I have been bowled over by the support my fellow creatives have shown in supporting and donating to this event.
You are buying a one off, rare piece, and giving someone with a rare cancer a chance of life. Thank you!
