Thank you for stopping by my JustGiving page. I am trying to raise some money for Cancer Research because sadly numerous members of my family have been affected by this awful disease and its hard to watch the people you care about go through hell and not be able to do anything about it. That's where Race for Life comes in because we CAN do something about it! Your money is desperately needed to carry out vital research so please please dig deep.

£10 could buy 300 glass slides for studying cells and tumour samples in detail under the microscope.

£30 could buy around 250 plastic Petri dishes. They're an essential resource for thousands of scientists who are working hard to understand cancer.

£54 could buy 22 thermometers (range -10°C to 110°C) – indispensable for many experiments that need to be performed at very precise temperatures.

£94 could cover the cost for one woman to take part in a clinical trial aiming to improve survival for post-menopausal women with early-stage breast cancer.

The oncologist of an affected relative of mine said that breast cancer is being diagnosed almost like the common flu virus. While that means diagnostic tests are continually being improved through vital research, it still means that the disease is more prevalent than it ever was. I'll bet that anyone reading this sadly will personally know someone who has been affected by cancer.

Cancer Research UK relies heavily on money raised through events such as Race For Life. Once you donate, JustGiving will send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.

Every donation is a signifcant step towards stamping out Cancer so please consider what it means to you and donate accordingly.
