Story

Sign up for the 20 for 20 challenge!

Complete 20-challenges-a-day calendar any time from September 20th - November 20th. Use the special 20:20 calendar produced by the charities involved or create your own challenges.

The Covid-19 pandemic has led to delays to cancer diagnosis and treatment, which could lead to as many as 35,000 additional deaths. With more than 55,000 cancer patients in England waiting for key tests, the emotional and practical support provided by less common cancer charities is needed now more than ever.

As the need for charity services increases, the donations that we depend on have decreased. Many fundraising events have been cancelled or postponed but with your help GIST Cancer UK can keep supporting everyone affected by GIST.

With your help, Covid -19 will not stop GIST Cancer UK investing in research and supporting GIST patients and their families.

Set up your own JustGiving page or donate here to get started.
