SCOTTISH tennis coach Judy Murray has been appointed as Worldwide Cancer Research’s first-ever “curestarter coach”.
The new role is aimed at encouraging people across the UK to participate in cancer cure research to boost efforts to find a cure, and is of great personal significance to Murray.
“We’ve all been affected by cancer in some way, and we need to all work together to find new cures. I know, in my heart, that we can do it, and the cutting-edge discovery research carried out every day by the team at Worldwide Cancer Research gives me so much hope for the future.” Murray’s appointment as the first-ever curestarter coach will see her advise and encourage those beginning their charity journey.
“I’m really excited to support those already doing amazing work to raise funds and awareness but also encourage people to become curestarters for the first time. It’s through this work that together, we’ll stop cancer.”
