In December 2024, Lesley was told she might have lung cancer after attending @LungHealthCheck.

Further tests confirmed Lesley had cancer, but thanks to her scan, it was found early and successfully treated.

“Early diagnosis is why I’m here today to enjoy this year’s Christmas.”

His research is giving people in Yorkshire more time with loved ones, and more Christmases together 🤗
