Fashion boutique fundraiser helps launch student's research into childhood cancers
Designer fashion boutique Robinsons of Bawtry handed over a cheque for £14,280 to PhD student James Hackland this week following their most recent annual charity fashion show.
The business has been supporting Yorkshire Cancer Research in its quest to drive pioneering research for the past 18 years, raising over a quarter of a million pounds, and this time the charity was able to pinpoint exactly where their vital funds would be spent.
The money will help 25-year-old James to continue his research into the development of cancer in children and young people at the University of Sheffield, following an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry and an MSc in Human Genetics at the University of Leeds. James is one of five promising young science students in Yorkshire to benefit from Yorkshire Cancer Research's PhD Studentship scheme this academic year thanks to the support of fundraisers like Robinsons.
