Willberry Wonder Pony
(UK, 1166416) Browse events
YTD Raised: £1,345.00In May 2015 Hannah Francis was diagnosed with an aggressive form of bone cancer. At the time Hannah was 17 years old and intent on pursuing her dream of riding at the top level of eventing. The diagnosis initially gave some hope with extensive use of chemotherapy, but, as Hannah says “now we know it is more likely to be a case of keeping on dreaming big, fighting hard and never, ever giving up – no matter what this evil disease continues to throw at us”. In the last year she has turned her overwhelming determination to, as she puts it, “#kickingcancersbutt” and inspiring people with her drive and determination. But she doesn’t do it alone. Shortly after her diagnosis Hannah was given a stuffed toy pony, to become known as Willberry the Wonder Pony. Now Hannah and Willberry devote much of their time and energy to raising money for charity and what started as a local effort to raise funds to buy Hannah a decent wig after losing her hair, is now a formal charity – Hannah’s Willberry Wonder Pony Charity – established and driven by Hannah to raise funds for bone cancer research and to grant equine related wishes to seriously ill people and their families. And she says that, long term, the charity will be her legacy, “Even when the day comes that I won’t be able to get up in the morning I want you to continue to keep fighting for me so together we can beat cancer.”

Doctor Richard Graham, consultant radiologist at The RUH describes Positron as a revolutionary type of scan which can have a significant effect on patients’ treatments, for statistics show that a third of cancer treatments are modified following Positron scans because of the precise nature of the images which are produced by such scans. Since the charity was established it has only ever been run by volunteers and as a consequence, a major part of what is raised can be spent on providing facilities for cancer patients at the RUH. To ensure that the Positron scanner is in constant use the scanner will also be used: This appeal provides those who live and work in the area with a wonderful opportunity to ensure that those of their neighbours and colleagues who require treatment for cancer are given access to the latest equipment which will dramatically improve outcomes.
