My Story
Representing Internal Audit in Citi’s 2024 Dragon Boat Race, our boat will paddle for the title of Citi’s dragon boat champion on 19 September. Teams from across Citi London will come together in this epic challenge to raise funds for Cancer Research UK’s life-saving research. Thank you for your support! Citi colleagues chose Cancer Research UK as our London Charity Partner for 2023 and 2024. We hope to raise at least £350,000 to support CRUK's work saving lives through research and bringing forward the day all cancers are cured. The first £230,000 raised funded Sample Cam, a small device that can be swallowed to take pictures inside a person's bowel and take small samples of tissue, allowing doctors to detect the earliest signs of bowel cancer. In 2024, we’re raising funds for Epic Dive, a trial to use blood tests to detect pancreatic cancer earlier. Together our contributions will add up to significant support for CRUK.
CAUSE
Epic Dive
Citi colleagues voted to raise funds for the Epic Dive project in 2024, helping researchers find new ways to detect pancreatic cancer earlier. In England, just 8% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer survive their disease for 5 years or more. Often, this is because it’s diagnosed too late, when the cancer has already spread and treatment options are limited. The EPIC DIVE team aims to find new ways to capture and amplify chemical signals given off by pancreatic cancer into the blood. If successful, this research could lead to new tests that help diagnose cancer at an early stage, when the chances of successful treatment are highest, saving lives.
