Campaign by GIST Cancer UK (RCN 1129219)
We've joined a collective of 20 less common cancer charities to create a unique & exciting 20-day challenge to raise funds to make up the shortfall in our income due to the pandemic. Funds that are vital to enable us to continue with our work.

Story

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.
