Community raise over £50,000 in 24 hours for local man with cancer

A crowdfunding page was created to help Joe get pioneering Immunotherapy treatment.

People from across Leicestershire and Warwickshire have been donating to help a man from Ibstock receive specialist cancer treatment.

Bethany Rumming set up the Just Giving page for her husband so that he can have pioneering Immunotherapy treatment.

Since setting up the page on the 13th of July over £50,000 has been raised and the target has now been increased to £70,000.

On the crowdfunding page, it says that after battling cancer for the last 3 years, in May 2023 Joe was given the news that the cancer had progressed to Stage 4. His family have found a treatment that could extend his life and improve his quality of life.

Bethany Rumming spoke to Fosse 107 about the donations they have had.
