The Fergus Maclay Leukaemia Trust was set up in 2001 in memory of Fergus who died in November 2000 at the age of 19.

The outcomes of the research will produce consolidated information on many aspects of nutrition. This will give doctors the confidence to provide well defined recommendations on nutrition for those young people undergoing treatment for cancer. It is expected that the outcomes of this first project will open up further aspects on nutrition for cancer patients that will require to be addressed; the trustees will therefore require additional funds to continue this much needed work.
