How your fundraising can help cancer patients like Joanna One way we’re supporting cancer patients is by funding new technology to enhance the radiotherapy service and make treatment kinder and more patient‑centered. We are currently fundraising £1 million to extend Surface Guided Radiotherapy (SGRT) technology to patients undergoing head‑and‑neck radiotherapy like Joanna. SGRT uses advanced 3D imaging to map a patient’s body in real time, ensuring they are in exactly the right position without the need for a restrictive closed-face mask. You can also donate to the campaign and support everyone taking part on our JustGiving page: Donate Today Ready to get involved? Good! We’re here to support you with your fundraising every step of the way. Sign Up! Have any questions? Get in touch to help us in create a healthier city both in and out of our hospitals.

Leeds Cancer Centre treats around 17,000 people annually, with over 8,000 of those receiving radiotherapy treatment, this includes around 80 children and young people who require radiotherapy for cancer treatment. Your fundraising will help us bring cutting‑edge technology to Leeds Cancer Centre, removing the need for closed masks and eliminating permanent tattoos for children and young people. By expanding Surface Guided Radiotherapy (SGRT) and introducing MapRT planning software - the first of its kind in the UK - we can make radiotherapy gentler, safer and less distressing for thousands of people. Your participation helps our hospital teams to be their very best for your loved ones, when they need it most. Can you support them today?
