CHARITY BOOTCAMP – WOMEN COME TOGETHER TO SAVE LIVES

Drummond Education trained Personal trainer Norah Greatrix has organised a fund-raising fitness boot camp on Tuesday nights at 7pm in Palmer Park, Reading. The boot camp is designed for women of all abilities to help raise the cash to keep a vital robot used in the fight against cervical cancer, in Reading. It could mean cervical cancer patients get life-saving operations at the Royal Berks.

At the moment, the “Robbie the Robot” is used to perform key hole surgery on men with prostate cancer. But if it stays, it could be doing keyhole surgery on cervical cancer patients within the year.

The robot costs £1 million pounds a year to keep at the hospital, and unless that money is found the Royal Berks will have to give Robbie the Robot up. But personal trainer Norah Greatrix is determined not to let that happen.

She says it’s up to women to work together on this.

“Being a woman, cervical cancer is obviously always a scare. There’s a history of it in my family, my mother’s twin sister died because of it along with my grandmother. There are so many great, strong women falling victim to this disease, it would be such a shame to lose something that could help them”.
