Please?
I've been convinced to strap myself to a big fella on 22nd October 2016 and trust him not to squash me as we jump out of a plane together. Please give generously! That way you can confidently ask me to donate to your next fun-run / moustache-growing / month of not drinking. All proceeds will go to Cancer Research UK, or to the fund for the Recently Widowed Wives of Hiten, depending on how things go*. I'm doing this for Stand Up To Cancer - an annual event which funds translational research (I'm not quite sure why they can't call it "finding new treatments" instead, but that's scientists and their fancy words for you). 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, so donate now: you, your family and friends will reap the rewards. * For the benefit of my most literal-minded of friends (you know who you are), all proceeds go to Cancer Research UK. The Recently Widowed Wives of Hiten isn't accepting donations at the moment.
CAUSE
Stand Up to Cancer: LIFE-SAVING RESEARCH
100% of the money you raise goes towards speeding up life-saving research. Every day, scientists and researchers work tirelessly to beat cancer. But lab researchers will not get us there alone. Every penny raised helps speed up breakthroughs in the lab, transforming them into new tests and treatments for patients who need them. The research you fund will help us see 3 in 4 people in the UK survive their cancer by 2034.
