Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees is responsible for the governance of the charity. It is their responsibility to ensure that the charity uses its funds wisely and applies them to furthering its charitable objectives. They are unpaid, independent volunteers, who all have a close experience of cancer either personally or through a relative.
Our current Trustees are:
Harry Cotterell (Chairman)
is a farmer from Herefordshire. He lost his first wife, Carolyn, to Melanoma in 1999. In the course of her treatment they travelled to the US and to Australia. Harry is convinced that vaccines have a major role to play in the treatment of cancers, particularly as they offer a much better quality of life than most existing therapies.
Reshma Ashraf Mason is one of the founding Trustees of the Cancer Vaccine Institute (CVI). After her husband died from Malignant Melanoma in 1999 she approached Professor Dalgleish and asked him if she could help raise money for his research. He put her together with the two other founding Trustees and they started the CVI in 2000. She is also the Company Secretary.
Guy Sangster is one of the founding Trustees of the Cancer Vaccine Institute. He lost his mother to Melanoma in 2000 after a seven year illness, but truly believes that had it not been for Professor Dalgleish and the work of the cancer vaccine programme in the UK and USA, her life would have been a lot shorter.
Peter le Conte lost his wife Belinda to Melanoma in 2004 after a three and a half year illness. Like many who have witnessed the progress that vaccine treatments are making, Peter is convinced of their long-term role in fighting cancer. Now happily remarried, Peter hopes to help raise awareness of the CVI and currently produces their newsletters and leaflets.
Lady Rankin lives in Scotland. Her husband Alick died from cancer in 1999.
Watching cancer research from the sidelines over the last six years, she is
convinced that vaccines will become the all-important deterrent in fighting this
disease – as they have been for so many other diseases in medical history.
Professor Dalgleish’s cancer vaccine programme today gives the world hope for
tomorrow.
