Shine Night Walk - Half Marathon
Sat 23 Sep 2017
Right now there are friends and family who are desperate for their loved ones to be cured from cancer. Abandoned, helpless and with nowhere to turn are some of the words used by patients, family and friends to describe the impact of cancer. They need a helping hand. In the 1970s, less than a quarter of people with cancer survived. But over the last 40 years survival has doubled- today half will survive. Cancer Research ambition is to accelerate progress and see three-quarters of people surviving the disease within the next 20 years. Bowel cancer doesn’t just affect those with the illness, but thousands of family and friends- leading to sleepless nights, fear, and loneliness and even relationship breakdowns. Today, you can change someone’s life. By making a donation you will support research into bowel cancer in key areas such as early diagnosis, developing new tests, surgery and radiotherapy, and cancer drugs. Please join us with your gift today. For the millions of people who need your help every day, your gift isn’t just a donation- it’s hope. Thank you so much for your support and for helping us to Shine. Helen and Karen x

Bowel cancer
Over the past 40 years there's been dramatic progress in tackling bowel cancer and half of people diagnosed will now survive for at least 10 years. But with bowel cancer still claiming around 43 lives each day, more research still needs to be done. Help Cancer Research UK find new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat the disease.
