I've been involved in Relay For Life Plymouth for some time, but this past 12 months, my wider family/friends have been particularly touched by Cancer.

Relay celebrates the power of community fundraising to make breakthroughs happen. Teams of friends, families and colleagues fundraise for world-leading research to save and improve lives, then unite as a community at an event to honour everyone affected by cancer and celebrate the progress we’re making.

£65 could buy special restriction enzymes. These act like molecular scissors to cut long strands of DNA, allowing our scientists to find out more about the genes that can cause cancer.

£220 could fund our team of nine cancer nurses for one hour. Our nurse helpline offers confidential support and guidance to people affected by cancer.

When you help fundraise for Relay For Life, you’re helping fund research and make discoveries. You’re helping bring about a world where everybody can live longer, better lives, free from the fear of cancer. Together we are beating cancer.

Thank you for your support.
