You're Amazing (Summer/Autumn 2016) | Page 4

Coming soon… Our new Cancer Centre at Guy’s opens this autumn – thanks to our wonderful supporters We wanted to say a BIG thank you to everyone who has supported Guy’s Cancer Centre Appeal. Our new Cancer Centre will use the latest technology to treat around 6,500 cancer patients each year. It will deliver most of Guy’s and St Thomas’ cancer treatment, meaning that patients can be provided with seamless care in one location. Our Cancer Centre Appeal has been supported by thousands of amazing people who have run, cycled, climbed, abseiled, baked and danced to raise money, as well as many individuals, charities, companies, trusts and foundations. One of our star fundraisers is Clinical Director Dr Majid Kazmi, who has been involved with the Cancer Centre project for more than a decade. Dressed as the Milk Tray Man, he took part in our Cancer Centre Abseil in June, alongside more than 90 other fearless fundraisers – and personally raised £7,500 for the appeal! 4 ‘It’s amazing to see patients play such an important role in the development of the Cancer Centre. I’m particularly delighted about the art installations, adding As these photos show – taken before we started to move all the fixtures and fittings in – we’ve created an amazing building that has been designed from the start with patients in mind. From the inspiring artwork, smooth lines and colourful surroundings, we hope you’ll see that this looks nothing like a hospital! light and colour to lift the spirits of patients and their families. With the help of donations, this truly will be a unique building – the realisation of a vision indeed.’ Diana, Chair of Patient Reference Group and former patient Keep an eye on our website and follow us on social media for exciting Cancer Centre updates.
