  Ninewells Cancer Campaign

• Administrative / Biographical History

  The Ninewells Cancer Campaign was established in 1990 following the success of the CAT SCAN Appeal which raised funds for much needed X-ray equipment for detecting cancers. Dr Pat McPherson was instrumental in setting up the Appeal and it was at that time he met Jacqui Wood - and this led to an amazing 20 years of legendary fundraising at Ninewells. Ninewells Cancer Campaign has operated with a series of Special Appeals (raising £17million in total); in between these Appeals money has continued to be generously donated by groups and organisations, wills and legacies, funeral donations and donations from Charitable Trusts, companies and individuals. All decisions on projects to be funded have always been made in discussion with the scientists and clinicians at the University of Dundee and Ninewells Hospital. Over the years the NCC has built up an enviable reputation and has received substantial unsolicited funding. Much of this was undoubtedly due to the time and effort put in by Jacqui, attending and speaking to groups and having photos with cheque presentations in the press. Jacqui Wood herself died of cancer in 2011 and Lady Fiona Fraser became Chairman. Lady Fraser had been Vice-Chairman for many years and was closely involved with the NCC from the start.
