In May 2018, a small group of staff from the University of Aberdeen will take on the new North East 250 Route to support the University of Aberdeen's cancer research programme. The team will cycle 250 miles travelling some of the North East of Scotland's most impressive roads, passing historic castles, beautiful nature reserves and whisky distilleries.

Our plans to develop a centre for cancer research in Aberdeen will save and improve countless lives. Our scientists are already at the leading edge in a range of different cancer specialisms but we can do so much more. Our £4.5 million fundraising appeal will accelerate vital research to improve how cancer is diagnosed and treated - and critically, how it can be prevented. We are so close to reaching our target and need your help to get us there. Your support will help us discover better ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer!
