A TEXT messaging specialist is helping a cancer charity.

Golcar-based SMileS SMS is working with the Laura Crane Youth Cancer Trust on a campaign to alert young people to testicular and ovarian cancer and raise funds for medical research.

Staff at SMileS raised £150 for the trust by taking part in Tinsel Tuesday – when people wear fancy dress to raise cash for the trust’s Gonads Campaign. Gonads is the medical term for ovaries in females and testes in males. To make a donation, text “GNAD42 2” to 70070 to donate £2.
