AICR is the world's leading international cancer research charity and&nbsp;is currently funding 191 research projects in 21 countries around the world. Since&nbsp;its inception in 1979, AICR has spent more than &pound;142 million on cancer research projects around the world.&nbsp;Not bad for a charity that only has 24 members of staff...</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="color: #1698e8;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="color: #1698e8;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Why are we taking part?</strong> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="color: #1698e8;"><span style="font-size: small;">Every day, we both get the opportunity to meet and speak to those who have been affected by cancer in the past and those whose lives are still being affected by it today.
