Story

CancerCare's Dare2Dip is a fun new cold-water challenge with a very serious message... if you are felling brave, read on!

What is it?

This year we are asking YOU to take the plunge and do something amazing by diving head first out of your comfort zone and into some very chilly water, all for charity.

Whatever you fancy, whether it's a brisk bathe in a local lake or a paddle in the sea, take part in the Dare2Dip Challenge and join our community of cold water enthusiasts who love nothing more than to get soaked and shivery for CancerCare!

This year marks CancerCare's 40th Anniversary. Over the last four decades, we have helped tens of thousands of people find the strength to face the future after the devastation of a cancer diagnosis or death of a loved one. It costs nearly £2m each year to provide free professional therapy to local people and more than 90% of this comes from public donations. People never know when they may need us and its our aim to ensure we are always there when they do.

Suggested donation of £10 or whatever you can afford to take on the D2D challenge. Thank you so much for your support.
