Fundraising – make a donation
Fundraising
Fundraising for a small charity is never easy. But we feel you get value for money when you donate to Survive Cancer, as the charity is run on a shoestring, and the bulk of your donation goes straight towards the two clinical trials:
- High dose intravenous Vitamin B12 in the Treatment of septic shock
- High dose intravenous Vitamin B12 in the treatment of MGUS/Multiple Myeloma
Many people are sceptical about using a mere vitamin in the treatment of such serious diseases, for which even the drug companies have failed to find a cure. (Sepsis and septic shock have been dubbed `the graveyard for pharmaceutical companies’. There have been over 60 diverse and ingenious clinical trials, and nearly all have failed.)
But medicine has a long history of overlooking the obvious, of overlooking something simple for something major: unpolished rice, or vitamin B3, for pellagra; limes and oranges, or vitamin C, for scurvy; vitamin A and carotenoids for `macular degeneration’ of the retina which results in blindness; vitamin A for measles mortality in the Third World.
Now, perhaps, vitamin B12 will be shown to be an effective treatment for sepsis and shock, and MGUS/Myeloma.
But we need your help. Please go to the Make a Donation section and either send us money via PayPal, or send us a cheque. And don't forget to fill in the Gift Aid form if you are a UK taxpayer. This adds 28p in every pound to your donation.
Or buy some of Miriam Rothschild's beautiful wildflower meadow mix, which is suitable for a meadow, a garden or even a pot or window box. The seed is donated to the charity, and every penny from sales goes straight to the Septic Shock trial fund.
Thank you.
