Devon Medical supports local cancer charity

Showing off a cycling jersey are Penny Brohn Cancer Care events fundraiser Andrew Tilling and corporate and community fundraiser Emma Smith with Devon Medical’s Kerry Laurie and Tom Laurie.

Devon Medical Equipment Limited has donated £2,300 to Penny Brohn Cancer Care, a local charity founded by Penny Brohn in 1980 as the Bristol Cancer Help Centre.

In 2006 the charity relocated to a purpose-built centre on the outskirts of Bristol and was re-named in memory of Penny, who passed away in 1999 after living with cancer for 20 years.

Representatives from medical equipment company Devon Medical spent a morning seeing the work charity does and wanted to lend their support.

The contribution has paid for cycling jerseys which will be used in events during the next year.
