Give in celebration

Rob Buckle, a former Medical Research Council employee, chose to mark his retirement in a meaningful way - by organising a leaving collection and donating the proceeds to the Medical Research Foundation.

Rob tells us “I chose to support a charity that funds innovative medical research projects offering hope to people living with debilitating health conditions that are often overlooked. These include initiatives that improve the lives of children and young people, as well as research addressing mental health and issues in the developing world.

"Having a background in research administration myself, I know that the Medical Research Foundation uses best practice to choose the most important researchers and projects to support.

"I also believe that the Foundation’s ability to collaborate with international funders, such as the Medical Research Council (MRC), significantly enhances the reach and long-term impact of the research that it supports”.

We’re incredibly grateful to Rob for choosing to support the Medical Research Foundation in such a thoughtful way. His generosity means so much to us, and from everyone at the Foundation, we wish him a happy retirement.

However you choose to mark your milestone, we are truly grateful. By celebrating with the Medical Research Foundation, you’re helping to fund life-changing research that brings hope to many. Supporters like you make all the difference, and together, we’re helping to advance medical research, improve human health and change people’s lives.
