Members of inspirational charity West Lancs and Merseyside Myeloma Support Group were joined by new Mayor Marilyn Westley at Tesco in Burscough for a Myeloma awareness day on Saturday.
It was arranged to raise awareness of the support group and the blood cancer Myeloma; the support group helps make managing the condition more bearable, and members can talk to patients who are going through similar treatment and learn from each other how to cope.
The group has raised funds and is currently arranging for a Health Professional to travel abroad to a Professionals Myeloma meeting, and return to inform GPs here how to diagnose Myeloma earlier, and therefore treat the cancer earlier.
The group meet once a month in Ormskirk: www.wlm-myeloma.uk or email support@wlm-myeloma.uk
