Raising money for

The Institute of Cancer Research

Charity Registration No. X90004

The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) is one of the world's top cancer research organisations and the only one in Europe directly involved in all stages of cancer research, from genetics through to drug development.

The ICR's unique partnership with The Royal Marsden Hospital forms Europe's largest cancer research centre and ensures that discoveries made in the ICR's laboratories are swiftly translated into treatment and care for those affected by cancer.

The Institute of Cancer Research has been leading the way in the fight against cancer for a hundred years and we are making some truly exciting breakthroughs.

It was the ICR that first noticed the suspected link between smoking and cancer. It was the ICR that first recognized that all cancers are genetic. It is the ICR that is now identifying hundreds of genes that contribute to the development of cancer. And it is the ICR that is developing new drugs to target the genetic causes of many different types of cancer.

Having been responsible for some of the greatest achievements in the history of cancer research, the ICR’s world-leading scientists work tirelessly to continue making progress in the ongoing fight against cancer, but they need your help now, and in the future, to realise their ultimate goal: to see an end to cancer as a life threatening disease.

My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am in the Cancer Research team and am running for them in the Great North Run on September 20th in memory of my brother, Chris, who we lost to cancer at the end of last year. Having witnessed the effects of cancer first hand, suffered the loss and seen the impact it has on those left behind, I felt I had do something to try to help combat the disease.

Those of you who know me well will know that I am in no way a runner, certainly not a half marathon! I wanted to set myself a genuine challenge that might encourage you to part with your cash in this worthwhile cause. My daughter Charlotte is also runing the Junior event the day before.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thanks for your support,

Mike..
