Taking Bladder Cancer Awareness Month to the Highlands

Ness Bridge in the centre of Inverness was lit orange in honour of bladder cancer patients

Wow, what a month! We’re hugely thankful to everybody who helped us to raise awareness and funds for #BladderCancerMonth23. It was immense!

We’ve always had incredible support from a small-but-mighty band of Scottish bladder cancer patients and their families, but this year they surpassed themselves.

Ness Bridge in the center of Inverness was lit up orange for Bladder Cancer Awareness Month. Kathleen MacKenzie, Senior Advanced Clinical Nurse Specialist – Urology at Raigmore Hospital, and FBC Medical Advisor, organised getting the bridge lit up. What a show-stopping way to raise awareness for bladder cancer!

We also want to give a big shout out to MSP for Highlands and Islands, Rhoda Grant, who took time at the end of a very busy day and made the journey up from Holyrood to join us in showing support for bladder cancer patients in Scotland. We are so grateful to have champions like Rhoda in the Scottish Parliament!

Huge thanks to everyone who supported our events in Scotland for Bladder Cancer Awareness Month!
