about huck cancer....

Huck Cancer is a non profit foundation set up so skiers and snowboarders can show their support in the fight against cancer, helping to benefit the lives of patients in both the UK and France. The idea to raise some money for the two charities was thought of last winter (2007/08) whilst I was receiving chemotherapy treatments for skin cancer. I was lucky enough to meet some fantastic doctors and nurses in the Centre Hospitalier Chambery whose help enabled me to carry on working in the Alps. I feel that being able to do this helped me enormously to be in the right spirit in order to tackle the disease, and for this reason I wanted to help raise both funds and awareness.

Thank you for your support,

Marcus Parrott

The Centre Hospitalier Chambery helps many people who are affected by not just cancer, but many other diseases as well. It is one of the major oncology centres in the region. In my time spent there, I was extremely well looked after, but I also came to realise just how many people need their help, the beds were always full, and although the nurses and doctors must have been really busy, they always gave me their full attention.

The money that we raise will help the hospital to carry on their fantastic work, and as a result, enable other patients to get the help they need.
