Cancer Research UK

Hi Fam,

Mum/grandma/Dorothy as you know is celebrating her 85th birthday this month.

Instead of presents she would like us all to make a donation to Cancer research uk.

We all know someone who has been affected by Cancer and the money we raise will help towards essential treatments.Thank you xxx

Cancer research is improving survival from common cancers all the time. In gratitude for loved-ones’ lives prolonged, and in memory of my mum Margaret Landor and my granny Mabel Kirkland, I’m raising money for Cancer Research UK, by planking every day through April. I’ll start with a plank for 45 seconds and see if I can improve over the month - I’m funding my efforts per minute achieved. I’ll post my daily running total on my Facebook page, with a link in case anyone wishes to encourage me.

My dad was diagnosed with Chronic Leukaemia (CMML) in 2024 and approximately 6 weeks ago, diagnosed with Colorectal Cancer

I promised my dad he would still be with us to see me complete a sky dive so I’m making it happen ! Sunday the 19th April, I will be completing a tandem sky dive from 15,000ft - this is also a day before my dad finds out if he is fit enough for surgery to remove the cancer.

Many Thanks in advance for any donation, which will be greatly appreciated x

We’re a team of five colleagues – Bridget, Ryan, Harneet, Grace and Matt – taking on the challenge of climbing Mount Snowdon to raise money for a cause close to our hearts.

We wanted to do something that pushes us as a group while making a real difference, and this felt like the perfect challenge. The charity we’re supporting provides vital help and support to those who need it most, and every donation will go towards continuing that important work.

We’ll be putting in the effort (and tackling a big climb!) to reach the summit, so any support you can give would mean a lot to us.

Thank you for helping us make a difference.

Any donations are massively appreciated

I will be running 5km as a fundraising event

Whoever would like to join is more then welcome

Right… so here’s the situation.

I’ll be taking on the London Marathon in support of cancer research because while my legs will be going through temporary suffering, many people are facing something far tougher every single day.

I have never been a runner and more just someone who thought, how hard can it be? Turns out.. quite hard.

A big part of my motivation is my nan who saw the start of the journey when I applied for the London Marathon but won’t see the end so this one will be for her.

Cancer affects so many families, friends, and communities. Supporting research means better treatments, more hope, and more lives saved. That’s something worth running for...

If you could donate, it would genuinely mean a lot. Every bit helps support an incredible cause and gives me no choice but to actually finish.

Thank you ❤️

On 19th April 2026, I’ll be running the Manchester Marathon in memory of one of the most loving nans anyone could ever have.

We sadly lost her after a brave battle with cancer in August 2025. She meant the world to our family, and this run is my way of honouring her memory while helping others who are facing similar battles.

I’m raising money for Cancer Research, whose vital work helps fund life-saving research, improve treatments, and support families affected by cancer now and in the future.

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a difference and would mean so much to me and my family.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any support you’re able to give

I don’t really know where to start to be honest, I’ve never done this before, but here goes.

I will be running the Brighton Marathon in April 2026 to raise money for Cancer Research. Let me explain why.

On 01/01/2024 my mum thankfully fell down the stairs (don’t worry, I’m not an arsehole you’ll find out why I’m grateful).

As a result of her falling down the stairs she had a CT scan and they thought they located a cyst on her kidney. Fast forward a few months she was waiting for a specialist scan on the NHS but the wait was too long, so she had to go private.

Following on from going private she had her scan in July. The results came back in September to show she had cancer in her kidney.

Thankfully, she was booked in to have her surgery in November last year, which went great and she has been given the all clear.

Some people will never think that cancer will affect your family or even you. (I did) But this was reality check for me that cancer does not care how nice of person you are, it will affect the nicest of people who deserve everything.

Who would’ve thought that my mum falling down the stairs has most definitely saved her life.

This is the reason that I will be running for Cancer Research to try and raise any money I can for a great cause. Any donation would be appreciated ❤️

Hi Jo Robinson here, in April I will be Celebrating my 90th Birthday, and to mark this occasion I will be taking on the Velocity Zip Wire, the longest and fastest zip wire in Europe!

I am raising money for two charities that are close to my heart, Cancer research and British Heart Foundation, two charities that help people live longer healthier lives, with your help these two charities can continue their vital work, so any donations large or small would mean the world to me.

Wish me Luck as I take a leap into the unknown, making my 90th Birthday a day to remember ❤

Hello

As many of you know, I am a stage 4 cancer Mummy and a below-knee amputee.

I’ve signed up for the 10k Race for Life cancer research charity running event on 21 June, to challenge not only any pre conceptions around what life as a stage 4 cancer patient looks like, but myself.

I’m hoping to show my girls that in spite of everything, Mummy’s still determined to make the most of the life she has left!

This will be my first ever running event since my amputation in June 2023.

I am currently re learning how to run with a prosthetic leg, and completing 10k is going to be both a physical and mental challenge! One that I am equally excited and nervous about.

If you would like to follow my training (and everything else cancer and prosthetic related) please do so on instagram:

I’m raising money for Cancer Research UK to support life saving research. I’ve set an ambitious target to raise £1,500.

Any donation no matter the size will make a significant impact. Thank you in advance for your support and encouragement it means so much to me.
