The year is drawing to a close very fast, and as well as being installed as the 40th Master of the Worshipful Company of Information Technologists, I have been leading the Charity in its 10th year with another successful year of fundraising and research project progress. Please join us on the 19th Nov (6pm-8pm) at the offices of Cushman & Wakefield, 125 Old Broad Street, London to hear from some of our research fellows and professors on the progress they are making with grateful thanks to your donations.
Whilst we are concentrating fundraising in support of Mercury 3 for Professor Gina Brown : click here to read more about the project, we have been supporting a number of other research initiatives. We are have lined up this November three top clinicians as our key speakers:



- RTD Sponsored Research Project: mAscara Update (Anal squamous cell carcinoma) by Helen Chidera Ota (Core Surgical Trainee)
- RTD / PAC Sponsored Bursary (Simon Bunting Colorectal Cancer Research Award) Update: Multimodal Biomarker Feasibility Study from Routine Diagnostic Tissue) – Introduction by Charlie Beardsmore Chairman of Penguins Against Cancer – Dr Chanthirika Ragulan
- Innovative Treatment Insight: An oncology service delivering minimally invasive, image-guided treatments by Professor Nicos Fotiadis from the Royal Marsden.
We will of course be hearing from our Patron Sir Keneth Olisa, who has just retired from his role as the Lord Lieutenant of Greater London. Ken will be helping me make some awards and offer us some words of encouragement.
If you still have some energy and like a good bop, do come along to the Annual Concert for Ray at Burnham Village Hall, near Slough. Andy Cox puts on an amazing range of musical sets that will get you swinging, singing and dancing. A charity tribute concert to celebrate the life of local businessman and resident Ray Cox, in support of Red Trouser Day – a three band line up
