Tribute to cancer campaigner Pat Seed MBE, a freelance journalist from Garstang. Pat set up the pioneering and hugely successful Pat Seed Appeal Fund to raise the money for the purchase of a CT scanner (technology that examines all parts of the body to detect where a tumour is and how large it is) for The Christie Hospital in Manchester. This appeal fund was the first of its kind and led to changes to the law concerning how the NHS could be funded.
