Become a Curestarter and help reach a day when no life is cut short by cancer.
Will you help us fund more lifesaving discovery research?
On our doorstep and all around the world, your support powers bold ideas for new cures. Cures for the cancers that few have heard of, and the ones we know too well.
What is a Curestarter?
Curestarters believe no life should be cut short by cancer, and they choose to turn their compassion into action - for themselves, for their loved ones, and for the millions of people around the world affected by cancer.
Becoming a Curestarter is a positive way to be part of something bigger and to contribute to pioneering cancer research that will save lives. If you support Worldwide Cancer Research and want to bring forward the cancer breakthroughs of tomorrow, you are a Curestarter.
However you support us, every contribution is crucial, because every breakthrough starts with a single action. What if the action you took today changed the course of cancer research forever?
Cancer has affected my family and friends - there have been some very sad stories but also some wonderful stories of people beating the disease. So raising money for cancer research has always been important to me and I'm so glad I've taken the time to discover Worldwide Cancer Research’s mission to end cancer by starting cures.
