👏 Congratulations to Mel on raising an incredible £985!!! 👏
Yesterday, Mel from our Outpatient Department was raising awareness for Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) The Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) Foundation, Inc. A huge thanks to Mel, a dedicated Staff Nurse here at Oaks Hospital, for her incredible efforts in promoting awareness. In 2008, Mel tragically lost her father to a genetic form of CJD, and in July 2024, her eldest brother, Matthew, was diagnosed with the same disease. Sadly, Matthew lost his battle at the end of last year.
To honour her family's struggle and raise further awareness, Mel will be undertaking a significant challenge next year.
Thank you to everyone who supported Mel and her raffle to benefit CJD research. We are thrilled to announce that they raised an impressive £985, which will go directly to the Prion Clinic at UCL. This funding will contribute to their ongoing and essential research aimed at finding a cure or at least a treatment for this devastating disease.
