Regina Doig pictured with her mother. (James Sturges) from the Ipswich Hospital Foundation told me he had an idea I might appreciate, Vicki said. Together, they re striving to fund local research through the Regina Doig Fund to make it possible for cancer patients to be treated locally.

If there had been more facilities locally (when Regina was sick), it would have been easier for her.
