Help us bring about a world where everybody lives longer, better lives, free from the fear of cancer.

I will be entering into a boxing ring for my first ever fight at a charity night. The minimum we are asked to raise is £50 but I’m hoping to raise even more money for this amazing cause. If you can spare a little and donate to my page or even share my link with others, I’d be most grateful.

The night is all in aid of raising money for a charity of your choice. Thats why I’ve selected to raise money for Cancer Research. Cancer is something that will affect 1 in 2 people in some form during their lifetime. That is why it’s so important to support this charity.

Recently, a fellow colleague of mine has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer resulting in 2 years left to live. It is a horrendous decease that can rapidly take over someone’s life out of nowhere. You know who you are.. keep fighting through and stay strong. You know I'm always here 🧡

Small amounts do add up 🤝🏼Thank you all 🫶🏼

Cancer Research mission statement (https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-us/our-organisation/our-strategy-to-beat-cancer.)

A world where:

• Some types of cancer are effectively eliminated  
• Many more are prevented from developing in the first place 
• People who do develop cancer are diagnosed at the earliest possible stage so they can be successfully treated  
• Treatments are more effective, kinder and more targeted, so people can lead better, more fulfilling lives  
• Everyone shares in this progress equally, regardless of who they are, where they’re from or what type of cancer they have  

This strategy offers the one thing we all seek: hope. Hope that the more we discover about the causes of cancer, the more this can be used to prevent it. Hope that discoveries will also lead to a better understanding of how cancer affects our bodies, leading to a better quality of life. Hope that more people will be able to live well with the disease where a cure is not yet an option. Most importantly, it gives us hope that these discoveries will lead to more options for more of us. 

Every new discovery we make about cancer brings us closer to beating it. Our world-leading network of researchers is brilliantly placed to transform our understanding of cancer, unlocking new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat it. We’ll put discovery at the heart of everything we do, seeking out insights across all types of research and encouraging ever greater collaboration between disciplines.

Despite advances in research, improvements in cancer outcomes are still unacceptably slow. We need to drive progress much faster. We'll match the latest advances from academia with the commercial, technical and investment expertise needed to progress them from lab to clinic, improve the adoption and implementation of new innovations, and use our influence to make sure the benefits of research are shared by everyone. 

As the world’s largest charitable funder of cancer research, we are at the forefront of the global fight against the disease. We’ll inspire millions to join with us in our mission, and increase the scale, breadth and impact of our partnerships to make greater progress than we could alone – bringing hope to people affected by cancer everywhere.
