The incredibly successful partnership between Mash Direct Belfast City Marathon and Cancer Focus NI came to an end in September 2022 having raised an unbelievable £245k for the official charity partner.
"All the money raised will stay in Northern Ireland and will fund pioneering research looking at the treatment of oesophageal and pancreatic cancer – two cancers which at present have very low survival rates. "In the last few years, a new type of treatment which can harness the body’s own immune system to attack cancer has been introduced for oesophageal cancer. Called immunotherapy, this treatment can be highly effective in shrinking cancers but only works in around a fifth of patients.
"In part this was due to the suspension of camera tests to diagnose these conditions due to the increased risk of Covid-19 infection they presented for staff carrying out the procedure. The money raised from the Cancer Focus runners and walkers has supported our work in introducing a lower-risk, less invasive ‘sponge test’ to detect Barrett’s oesophagus and oesophageal cancer and reduce waiting lists for testing.
