Well known professional trombonist Carol Jarvis was heard on Radio 4 recently talking about another great passion in her life — helping to raise money for the charity Lymphoma Action.

Carol was 26 when she was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma and underwent a decade of treatment supported by the charity.

She is now a leading advocate for its work — combining her busy professional career with trying to help raise the profile of the organisation whenever and wherever she can.
