Tenovus is a Cancer Charity who are helping the lives of sufferers across Wales and are bringing treatments closer to patients' homes with their state-of-the-art mobile unit where treatment can be given on board. As a developer and producer of many cytotoxic drugs in partnership with our customers and the fact that many of the staff here at Penn Pharma have been affected by cancer either personally or close family, it is important we raise as much money as possible. For this we are asking that you please give generously. It's easy to donate online with a credit or debit card - just click on one of the Donate button's below.
