Chai Cancer Care’s ‘Miracle’ thank you to fundraisers
Charity helping thousands cope with Cancer shows Chanukah appreciation
After raising £3m with The Big Impact Community Weekend in November, Chai Cancer Care hosted a Chanukah ‘thank you’ night for fundraisers by shedding more light on the Charity’s work.
Hosts Louise Hager, Chai Chairman and Chief Executive Lisa Steele were keen to express their gratitude with a buffet of more than just donuts during the Festival of Miracles and invited people who were part of the matched-funded campaign as well as those who use Chai services.
“It’s because of all of you that we are able to continue as we receive no other funding,” said Louise. “Programmes as ‘important as ‘Chai in Schools’ which supports young people affected directly by a cancer diagnosis or that of a family member by giving Headteachers, teachers and SENCOs the advice and training they need to respond to a child’s needs.”
In 2023 Chai will be working with jnetics.org on the rollout of the new NHS BRCA testing of the Jewish community .The testing service will be available for anyone aged 18 or over living in England with ONE or more Jewish grandparent.Through the programme, participants will be able to find out if they have a fault in either of their BRCA genes (BRCA1 and BRCA2) putting them at increased risk of developing the BRCA-associated cancer./www.jnetics.org/
