How a bra and Tulips fight crippling cancer costs

Cancer Can Do One

Imagine ignoring that bump or that pain because...you can't afford the cost of a test or the treatment. That's the stark reality for millions. Some British expats are giving up on their retirement in the sun dream and heading home because health care costs are spiralling beyond reach. That's certainly true in Northern Cyprus currently gripped by 70 percent plus inflation. Bridget Tuxworth runs a restaurant in Lapta in the territory. She's organising an event to celebrate her 60th birthday for the charity Tulips, currently the only cancer charity in Northern Cyprus. It began in 1993 when local cancer care was almost non-existent. We'll hear from her later, but first, Susan Tilt is a fundraiser for Tulips. She says the lack of finances and spiralling costs has put lives of all nationalities in danger. And there's no sign of changes soon... (Bridget's Just Giving Page)
