We would like to wish you all a very happy new year and all the best for 2012 from everyone at Cancerkin. Cancerkin is now preparing itself for a busy 2012 full of landmark events – the Diamond Jubilee, the London Olympics and, of course, Cancerkin’s 25th Anniversary. We are proud to celebrate 25 years of providing support and care to women with breast cancer and have planned a year of festivities to mark the occasion.
Annual Lecture on Tuesday 27th March 2012
We will begin our series of celebratory events with Cancerkin’s second Annual Lecture on Tuesday 27th March. We are thrilled to be welcoming Professor Jonathan Waxman, MD FRCP Professor of Oncology and Consultant Physician at Imperial College London, to give the lecture. Professor Waxman is a clinician who has helped develop new treatments for cancer that are now part of standard practice. He has published a huge number of research papers, chapters and books on cancer, as well as a novel and a law book. He is also a prominent campaigner and fundraiser for work into cancer research and care. We very much look forward to hearing his lecture, more details on which will follow soon.

Hyde Park Walk on Sunday 17th June 2012
Continuing in our series of celebrations, our biggest and best Hyde Park Walk yet will take place on Sunday 17th June. As always, we will be taking in the delights of the beautiful Hyde Park on a 10k route twice around the Serpentine Lake. We plan to make this an extra special event for our walkers – more to be revealed later!
