Our annual research activity In 2013/14, we spent £351 million on research in institutes, hospitals and universities across the UK. We also spent £21 million on providing information for people affected by cancer, raising awareness of risks and symptoms, and influencing health policies.

Here is an easy to use guide of how to get from 0 to 5k in just 6 weeks, which is just about enough time as events kick off late June! Walk, jog or run in groups or on your own. Even raising a small amount adds up! Every pound raised counts Nine out of 10 donations we receive are for £10 or less, proving that small amounts make a big difference. Whatever the size of your donation, we will put your money to the best possible use in our fight against cancer.
