Why World Cancer Research Fund?
In May, my aunt Annie passed away from an intense and quick battle with cancer. She was the funniest, kindest, and most selfless lady I ever met, taken from our world far too soon. I think about her everyday, and I hope to be more like her as I grow up. I am running the London Marathon and raising money for the World Cancer Research Fund to support the quest for a cure and for this world to have more time with people like Annie!
Every day around 1,100 people will hear the words ‘you have cancer’. Over 420 of these cases could have been prevented, that’s a staggering 155,000 people every year. World Cancer Research Fund, are passionate about reducing this number.
As part of an international network of charities, they’ve been funding life-saving research, influencing global health policy and informing the public since 1982.
While society continues to search for a cure, their prevention and survival work helps people to live longer, healthier, and happier lives – free from the devastating effects of cancer. The money I'm raising plays a huge part in keeping this going.
