In a series of charitable events across the UK, individuals and communities have rallied together to raise significant funds for cancer-related causes. In Barnet, 75 participants took part in the annual Swimathon, raising money for Cancer Research UK and Marie Curie, highlighting the importance of community support for local charities. Meanwhile, Duncan Rudall and his daughter raised over £16,000 for the Ricky Grant Day Unit in Devon, expressing gratitude for the exceptional care his wife received during her treatment. Yorkshire Cancer Research has launched 'We Walk for Yorkshire' in its centennial year, aiming to raise £100,000 for cancer research through community walking events in Sheffield and Leeds, where cancer diagnosis rates are notably high. Additionally, colleagues from Everyone Active tackled the National 3-Peaks Challenge, raising over £5,000 for Breast Cancer Now, showcasing their commitment to supporting cancer charities through physical challenges. These initiatives reflect a growing awareness and proactive response to cancer care and research funding across the UK.
