🏌️It’s a record!

This year, the Hart family raised a huge £7,679 through their Adrian Hart Golf Day – the most they've ever raised through a single event!

This incredible family has raised more than £100k, which has impacted countless people living with and beyond cancer.

We’d like to say a big thank you to them, for their fantastic work and dedication.

We’re also very grateful to Eurosafe UK, which generously sponsored the 2025 Adrian Hart Golf Day 💜.

🦉 Owls legend Carlton Palmer and his wife Lucy are joining for the Sheffield 10k! ⚽👟

They're raising vital funds for our ‘see it. treat it.’ appeal – which will bring Sheffield its first ever MRI simulator.

"The earlier cancer is detected and the more accurately it is treated, the greater the chance people have of surviving," said Carlton.

"So, it’s important that we do what we can to bring this new piece of technology to the hospital.”

⭐ Funds raised by the couple's 10k will be match-funded by Westfield Health, meaning they'll make double the impact!

💜 We recently awarded a grant to Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust's Palliative Care Unit, which was used to buy a series of special children’s books.

These books aim to help parents, carers, and professionals support children during one of the hardest times in their life.

They help families to start talking about death and loss. These conversations can be incredibly challenging, but they’re so important for children and young people.

We’d like to thank the wonderful team at the Palliative Care Unit, and hope that these books support their invaluable work.

This September, Layla will be taking part in Walk as One – just a year after being diagnosed with breast cancer.

After many appointments and rounds of treatment, Layla recently found out the brilliant news that her cancer is in remission 💜.

She will be joining us in Endcliffe Park to Walk as One - alongside her parents, her brother, and her husband Neal.

Team Layla said: “Throughout this trying period, the Weston Park nurses, doctors, oncologists and other staff have acted with the utmost care, kindness, and endless patience when dealing with our million questions and anxieties.

“To try to make some small showing of our gratitude, we are doing Walk as One to raise money for the Weston Park Cancer Charity.”

We can't wait to cheer on Team Layla on Sunday 14th September 🙌.

“The MRI Simulator could have changed my life.”

When Mike was diagnosed with prostate cancer, he began his long cancer treatment journey at Weston Park Cancer Centre.

Mike is encouraging people to support our ‘see it. treat it.’ appeal as he says that if the MRI Simulator scanner had been in place at the time of his diagnosis, he could have seen a reduction in his side effects.

Mike said: "As a former prostate cancer patient who endured 20 exhausting trips for radiotherapy at Weston Park, I have to say the reduction to five trips will make a colossal difference to people’s lives.

“The scanner will allow for much greater accuracy in targeting cancer cells whilst sparing healthy tissue. From a personal level and for the benefit of future patients this represents a monumental shift and one massive advantage.”

Together, we can bring this life-changing technology to our hospital and improve cancer care for our loved ones 💜.
