Marian founded CHEMOtivation in 2024. Bob, her husband, suffered with pancreatic cancer, and before he passed away, they had decided to give people hope when embarking on chemotherapy or radiotherapy at Royal Devon University Trust. Marian set up CHEMOtivation with the help of Rob’s sons and partners. CHEMOtivation is now a registered charity, endorsed by the Royal Devon University Trust. We are working together to build the contents of the ‘hope in a tote’ starter kit.
She is working with a team to raise organisation and businesses awareness to get the ball rolling and to get the finance rolling in to start providing the starter kits.
