Nina's Shine Night Walk
"A friend asked if anyone would like to join her at Shine Night Walk Manchester I jumped at the chance. I have been treated for cancer twice so know how important Cancer Research UK is in helping those affected by cancer. We formed a team of six- our ages span every decade from 30 to 70. The night was well organised with plenty of stewards giving encouragement and making sure the route was clear. So many people out enjoying their Saturday night clapped and congratulated us as we walked past. This added to an already great atmosphere. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and were pleased to have raised over £2,000 for such an important charity. We came away with a real buzz. I’d definitely recommend taking part"

Your fundraising makes an impact
What fundraising can do
1 in 2 people born in the UK after 1960 will get cancer in their lifetime*. Our research saves lives.
Over the last 40 years, Cancer Research UK's work has helped double breast cancer survival, we were a key player in the development of radiotherapy, and we played a role in developing 8 of the world’s top 10 cancer drugs.
Although we are proud of our achievements, there is still more to be done. The money you raise will help to bring us closer to our ambition of 3 in 4 people surviving their cancer for 10 years or more by 2034.
How fundraising helps Bristol
Bristol is home to a paediatric Experimental Cancer Medicine Centre, which we co-fund with the National Institute for Health Research in England. The centre brings together lab scientists and cancer doctors to speed up the flow of ideas and new treatments for cancer from the lab to the clinic.
Cancer Research UK spent over £2 million in 2022/23 in Bristol & Bath.
Research happening right now in Bristol & Bath includes:
- We’re developing new treatments that could stop cancers growing.
- We’re improving our understanding of the long-term impact of head and neck cancer.
- We’re using big data to beat cancer sooner.
- We're developing new ways to help people stop smoking.

The majority of the route is on tarmac, with an incline from the Broadmead up to the top of Park Street making the route wheelchair accessible with assistance. The course within its first 2k must follow the route around the Harbourside, this route follows pathways which can often be uneven due to different surfaces including smooth cobbles and some cobbled streets. Once the route passes the SS Great Britain between 3k & 4k, the course continues along the Harbourside in which Wapping Railway Wharf tracks run along the ground, there are options and routes to avoid these tracks and continue on the course. The 10k course has an overall ascent of 45m.
Please bring your own reusable water bottle filled. We have removed our single-use plastic bottles of water at the finish and pit stop stations and instead are providing water re-fill stations for you to top up and stay hydrated!
