Help me try and raise as much money for an amazing cause !

ROBS ARTTT was set up by a close friend of mine who sadly passed away on the 04/09/07 from Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor (DSRCT)

It most commonly occurs in young males of adolescent age and is characterized as a large intra-abdominal mass with no apparent origin first spreading to the peritoneal surfaces, then to the liver, lymph nodes and/or lungs.

Since this disease is normally not attached to an organ, it usually grows to a very large size and spreads to other parts of the body before the person experiences any ill effects of the disease.

The most common symptoms are abdominal pain, abdominal mass, and symptoms of gastrointestinal obstruction.

Rob was a close friend to me at school and was in every class of mine and the reason im raising money for his charity is to continue his dream to and help get enough money to get more research into this rare form of cancer.

the money goes to

Robsarttt which funds research into DSRCT (Desmoplastic Small Round c
Cell tumour The resarch funds goes into a lab set up at the Royal Marsden In Surrey. The cost of research is £34,000 per year.. Thats £10,000 wages for the PhD Student and the rest goes on equipment and pippets and time etc....

our aim is to fund the research and hope we get a treatment and prolong the length of life for those who are sufferng.
