Story

The Mary How Trust for Cancer Prevention was set up when Mary How, a young mother of two, died from bowel cancer in 1987. Earlier detection and treatment of the disease could have saved her life. Our aim is to spot the early signs of cancers and other life-threatening illnesses through health screenings and scans. The Mary How Trust is an independent charity, and receives no funding from the NHS. Our service depends on donations, fundraising and the dedication of volunteers.
