Let’s freeze cancer in its tracks!
Over 21,500 runners will be taking to the streets of London this year to run through the cold and raise vital funds for Cancer Research UK. That makes this year’s London Winter Run a sell-out event - and a record-breaking year for fundraising too! Join the thousands of runners uniting together to help us raise an incredible £750,000 this year. That’s ¾ of a million pounds for life-saving research that you could be part of.
What does a donation mean for Cancer Research UK?
£15 covers the cost of one visitor seeking health information on one of our mobile awareness units, helping them to take the steps to reduce their risk of cancer and go to the doctor early with any concerns.
£20 is the cost of running Cancer Chat for 1 hour, helping thousands of people through very difficult times. Cancer Chat is a moderated discussion forum and a safe online space to discuss any aspect of the disease.
£50 buys a scientific sieve to separate out big bits and small bits of DNA to reveal vital clues about how to beat cancer, sooner. Tiny molecules that might play a role in cancer, but would never be seen by eye, can be identified with a machine that separates them out using electricity.
These are just a few examples of what your donation or fundraising could go towards. However you choose to support us, thank you for helping us bring forward the day when all cancers are cured.
