Cancer Research UK is a cancer research and awareness charity in the United Kingdom and Isle of Man, formed on 4th February 2002 by the merger of The Cancer Research Campaign and the Imperial Cancer Research Fund. Its aim is to reduce the number of deaths from cancer. As the world's largest independent cancer research charity it conducts research into the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

Research activities are carried out in institutes, universities and hospitals across the UK, both by the charity's own employees and by its grant-funded researchers. It also provides information about cancer and runs campaigns aimed at raising awareness of the disease and influencing public policy.

Cancer Research UK's work is almost entirely funded by the public. It raises money through donations, legacies, community fundraising, events, retail and corporate partnerships. Over 40,000 people are regular volunteers.

On Sunday 9th June, Kent Galaxy will host Riverside Wanderers at Hayes Lane Stadium, with all proceeds going to Cancer Research UK.

Thank you very much for any donation you can give.  We hope to see you on the day.
