Raising Awareness of LDN - Celia

[Guest guest]

Celia,

I don’t know if you are aware of Dame Judi Dench’s

involvement in charities:-

Charity biography

Dame

Judi Dench lost her husband to lung cancer in 2001, and is patron of Women

Against Lung Cancer, a campaign of the Roy

Castle Lung Foundation

Judi

Dench has supported the following charities:

British Forces

Foundation

Cancer Research UK

Dr. Hadwin Trust

Epilepsy Action

Grace House

National

Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children

Neurofibromatosis

Association

Northampton

Welfare Rights Advice Service

Roy Castle Lung

Foundation

SANE

White Ribbon Alliance

I am hoping to contact her through the Torch Theatre here in

Pembrokeshire as she’s Patron of this too (other patrons are Fiona

from GMTV – resigned now though but still active in TV, and

Connie Fisher - Sound of Music (but doing other work in the entertainment

field, both are from Pembrokeshire). I am hoping to get the Torch Theatre

to send out leaflets to their mailing list (about 1500) to help give the

petition the surge it needs for more signatures (I think they have a mailing

list of about 1500) and also to help raise awareness of LDN. Not a great

deal but it will help. We’ve had about 500 more signatures on our

petition since the conference (about a 25% increase in the last four weeks).

I thought if you’re up to it and as you’re suffering

from Lung Cancer, perhaps you can write to her at the Roy Castle Lung

Foundation about LDN?. Also, there’s a discussion forum on this site

which may be helpful for you to participate in. Their website for your

quick reference is this http://www.roycastle.org/

They also have a phone number.

Was wondering if you might be interested?

Best,

Jayne
