The James Whale Fund for Kidney Cancer is the UK’s leading specialist kidney cancer charity. It seeks to help reduce the harm caused by kidney cancer by increasing knowledge and awareness, providing patient information, and by supporting research into the causes, prevention and treatment of the disease. The charity was founded in 2006 by the broadcaster James Whale whose experience of dealing with the disease in 2000, when he lost a kidney in the process, spurred him on to set up a charity to help others in a similar position. The Fund depends primarily on voluntary donations and in its short history has published a definitive guide to kidney cancer, set up a Patient Support Network and Careline, established an online renal nurse training programme and campaigned for access to life extending drugs for NHS kidney cancer patients. The charity is governed by a board of Trustees and has its head office in Cambridge, UK.〔http://www.jameswhalefund.org/AboutUs.html〕 == Aims == The aims of the charity are stated as being * to help reduce the incidence of kidney cancer by increasing knowledge and awareness, and by supporting research into the causes, prevention and treatment of the disease * to provide a support network offering advice, information and encouragement to those who’ve been diagnosed with kidney cancer and their carers”〔http://patient.info/support/james-whale-fund-for-kidney-cancer〕 James Whale Fund for Kidney Cancer is committed to raising awareness of kidney cancer amongst a range of audiences including the general public, GPs, clinicians, policy makers, health authorities and the media. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「James Whale Fund for Kidney Cancer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
