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 Cambridge
Through the pioneering work of scientists and doctors at the CRUK Cambridge Institute and CRUK Cambridge Centre, we’re determined to make a difference for people with cancer in the city and beyond.
Cancer Research UK spent around £49 million in Cambridge in 2021/22
Right now in Cambridge we're:
- We’re working to make treatments more effective.
- We’re testing new combinations of drugs to treat pancreatic cancer.
- We’re improving breast cancer screening .
