Thriller in the Villa is a fun event for the Island’s community, providing a platform for local fundraising. The annual event, sees local volunteers embrace the challenge of stepping into the Boxing Ring raising funds for their chosen charity in the Villa Marina's Royal Hall, Douglas, Isle of Man.

"I’m doing Thriller to see if I want to go from doing boxing as a hobby to taking it up as a sport more seriously and it’s a good opportunity for me to get a bit of fighting experience with a crowd and for my charity."

"I’ll be doing it for Cancer Research UK - IOM because people in my family have had cancer before and thankfully survived it and I’d like to help keep that going."

CANCER RESEARCH UK - IOM CHARITY NO 1103 - OBJECTIVE

To protect and promote the health of the public in particular by research into the nature, causes, diagnosis, prevention, treatment and cure of all forms of cancer.

We want to bring about a world where everybody can lead longer, better lives, free from the fear of 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.
