This year the Steel Works Santa, the Family Claus and the Sons of Santa Charity Riders (SOS) are raising money for GIST Cancer UK as a family member has recently been diagnosed with this disease. Some of the money donated here will help fund research into this rare form of cancer.

GIST Cancer UK funds research and provides support for patients with a rare form of cancer known as Gastro-Intestinal Stromal Tumour (GIST). We provide patient information in hospitals throughout the UK, host support meetings for patients and carers and host an online community providing practical advice and information. We fund research into furthering treatment options for GIST, work with medical professionals to increase awareness of GIST cancer, and fund a specialist PAWS-GIST Clinic in Cambridge.
