ROSEMERE Cancer Foundation has teamed up with Clitheroe-based auction house Silverwoods to put on a special antiques and fine art auction in October.

The money will go towards the latest generation of EBUS Endoscopy equipment to better diagnose and treat lung cancer, particularly peripheral secondary cancers which are traditionally very difficult to spot but often curable.

The equipment will cost £100,000 and complete a treatment system that will enable the Rosemere Cancer Centre to offer techniques not available anywhere else in the UK.

Rosemere supporters, their friends and family who have any antiques or collectables they would like to sell to raise money for this project can make a free no obligations appointment with Silverwoods’ auctioneer Wilf Mould on Tuesday September 23.

The auction will take place on October 30. For more details contact area fundraiser Dan Hill on 01772 528346 or at daniel.hill@lthtr.nhs.uk
