"This lottery may not make you a millionaire but it will go a long way in helping us support kidney cancer patients."
‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire’ host, supporter and friend of the James
Whale Fund for Kidney Cancer, Chris Tarrant has confirmed his interest
in supporting the launch of ’The Kidney Cancer Lottery ’ http://www.kidneycancerlottery.org.
The Lottery has been designed to assist in the funding of the Patient
Benefit Grant, which aims to help those suffering or in treatment for
kidney Cancer, ease their financial strain and help access to things
that can add to or maintain their quality of life. For example, if a
patient requires continued access to television or broadband, or needs
to pay to have a pet cared for due to a period of hospitalization etc.,
the Fund, on a case by case discretionary basis, can award funds of up
to £1,000 per annum per patient.
Tickets are price at £1 each and one winning number is drawn on the last
Friday of every month and the winner will receive a cash prize in
proportion to the number of entries. 40% of the money collected will be
given back in the cash prize and the remaining 60% will go to the
charity.
Broadcaster James Whale, founder and Chairman of the James Whale Fund and a kidney cancer survivor, said: "We hope that many Kidney Cancer patients will directly benefit from
this new initiative of the Fund and look forward to our lottery launch
being well supported. The aim of the lottery is to have the chance to
give something back to those that are generous enough to donate."
