How it all came about
The Team
The 'Charity Sail' was inspired by John Bird, to help
raise vital funds for the Roy Castle Lung Cancer
Foundation in Liverpool. John's father died of Lung
Cancer in 1995 slightly after the Research Centre opened. He has organised a number of events for the Foundation
of which the Charity Sail is the most successful.
This will now become an annual event and we hope to attract more boats in it's second year and beyond.

The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation
We are the only charity in the UK wholly dedicated to defeating lung cancer
Patient Support
Tobacco Control
We Need Your Help
Research
The Foundation's support groups give those affected by lung cancer a chance to meet others in a similar situation, to learn more about lung cancer and to talk to specialist nurses.
The freephone help line
(0800 358 7200) provides supports services and our patient information booklets are free of charge for those affected.
The Foundation provides a stop smoking service through 'Roy Castle Fag Ends'. Work is underway to prevent young people from starting smoking by educating them on the dangers of smoking through our Kids against Tobacco Smoke and Anti Tobacco Youth Campaigns.
The 'Look After your Lungs' programme offers workplace health promotion and the Foundation also trains health care professionals in a variety of lung cancer, tobacco control and health related issues.
Early detection is critical to the success of any treatment and the Foundation's research is helping to detect early signs of lung cancer, thus improving survival rates. Ultimately the charity is working towards implementing a screening programme across the UK.
The Foundation receives no Government funding for it's research work and relies on the support of companies and individuals to raise money.
Roy Castle courageously devoted the last twelve months of his life to raising funds for the Foundation and the charity needs your help to continue its vital work in the fight against lung cancer.
You can make a difference and help save lives.

Registered Charity No. 1046854
Campaigning
The Foundation works hard to influence politicians
and all those who make decisions which impact on
lung cancer and those affected by it.
