Thanks for taking the time to visit my fundraising page!

In the lead-up to Miss Hertfordshire 2024, I will be raising money for Cancer Research UK, a charity who’s pioneering work into how to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer has benefitted millions of lives over the past 120 years.

Every 2 minutes in the UK someone is diagnosed with cancer, and there are more than 385,000 new cancer cases in the UK every year - that's more than 1,000 every day. Cancer survival is improving and has doubled in the last 50 years in the UK, but we still have a long way to go to beat cancer and so we need to do more.

£25 - could either buy 500 plastic test tubes, 5 boxes of gloves, 5 beakers, or a Bunsen burner, which are the understated tools of many experiments.

£50 - can pay for chemicals called restriction enzymes, which cut long strands of DNA, allowing scientists to find out more about the genes that cause cancer.

£100 - Early diagnosis is essential to getting the right treatment to people with cancer. £100 could pay for a cancer biopsy, where a tiny amount of a lump is removed and sent to be studied in a lab.

Every penny counts and any size donation will be greatly appreciated, whether it’s £1, £10 or £100! Please feel free to share this page, thank you for your support xxx
