Sarah’s Pink Events are delighted to welcome a new patron
Brian Hogan – Consultant in Breast Surgery at St James’s Hospital
Brian Hogan is a Consultant in Oncoplastic Breast Surgery in the Breast Unit at St. James’ University Hospital. Brian comes from Co. Clare in the West of Ireland and trained as a doctor at the University of Galway. Following a period of surgical training in Ireland he moved to Leeds to undertake a research degree working in the Breast Unit at St. James’. His research looked at the immune system and it’s role in the development of wound healing complications following breast cancer surgery and the risk of cancer recurrence. He has presented his work at national and international meetings and published in peer reviewed journals. Brian has worked in the Breast Units in Bradford and Hull and returned to Leeds as a Consultant in 2016. Since then he has worked with the wider multi-disciplinary team in delivering breast cancer care to the people of Leeds, Yorkshire and beyond. He continues to support research activities within the Unit and is active in training the next generation of breast cancer surgeons in the region. This includes the research projects Pink Events are helping to fund.
Brian is very aware of the important role that charitable organisations such as Sarah’s Pink Events play in supporting Breast Cancer Units. “The Support from Sarah’s Pink Events has had a direct impact on thousands of cancer patients that have been seen and treated in the Unit over the years. We are indebted to them and are grateful for their ongoing support“.
28th July 2024 – Liv & Abby take on the 15k Tough Mudder
Having completed the 5k challenge last year the pair opted to take on the bigger 15k challenge with over 20 obstacles. All of this mucky fun takes place in the grounds of Broughton Hall just outside of Skipton. The weather was warm and sunny but the mud and ooze was chilly and slippery. The challenges included climbing near vertical walls and crawling through mud filled trenches. All of this was then washed off by having to plunge through the buliders skip filled with water and ice. The final obstacle had them run through the ‘Electroshock Therapy’ which had electrical wires dangling which gave a jolt if touched.
Well done to both for getting down and dirty and raising just over £800.
