About us

We are the world's leading charity dedicated to saving lives through research. 

Funded entirely by the public, we're working to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. 

Our scientists, doctors, nurses, volunteers and supporters are united in putting an end to this devastating disease. In fact, we're the only ones fighting over 200 cancers, including the one that matters most to you.
