Proud patient battles breast cancer and raises money for local hospitals

A grateful patient receiving treatment at Dewsbury and District Hospital raised and donated a large sum of money to the Chemotherapy Units which took care of her.

Joanne Cave, 39, from Wakefield, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018 and has been undergoing treatment since at the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust.

Joanne found Chemotherapy her hardest challenge both physically and emotionally and once she felt well enough, she decided that she would like to give back to the NHS and those who cared for her and set her mind on completing a 10k steps a day fundraiser for 30 days in total.

Joanne raised £6,180 to be spent on the chemotherapy units at Dewsbury and Pontefract hospitals.
