Cancer appeal

A recruiter is asking fellow recruiters for support to provide his wife with life-saving treatment for a rare form of bone cancer.

Marcus Hutchinson, sales manager at sales recruiter Goldteam, made the appeal after his wife Charlotte’s request for funding was turned down by his local primary care trust. The treatment called CyberKnife is only available privately and not through the NHS. Hutchinson says that treatment will cost around £45,000, with £25,000 required by mid-April for the set-up and consulting costs. Anyone who wishes to help can either send money (email Hutchinson at Marcus.Hutchinson@goldteam.co.uk for details) or donate items for auction. The couple, pictured below, married two years ago.
