Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
Yorkshire is one of the regions hardest hit by cancer. Together, we can change this.
Sadly, people are more likely to have their lives cut short by cancer in Yorkshire than almost anywhere else in England. Yorkshire Cancer Research is a charity dedicated to funding research so that you and those you love live longer, healthier lives, free of cancer.
Thanks to supporters, Yorkshire Cancer Research has been funding research and saving lives since 1925. Today, the charity is the biggest funder of cancer research study places in Yorkshire, bringing vital world-leading research and expertise to the region.
Your support will help to:
• Research new ways to prevent cancer
• Find cancer sooner when it’s often easier to treat
• Improve cancer treatment and pioneer new services
Together we’re changing Yorkshire’s cancer story, for good.
Centenary
For 100 years, people across the region have united in one goal: a Yorkshire free from cancer.
This year, Yorkshire Cancer Research is celebrating the Changemakers – anyone who has played a part in advancing life-saving cancer research in Yorkshire, from the researchers and doctors to the supporters whose grit and determination are why Yorkshire Cancer Research continues to exist.
