While the incredible amount of research that we will be funding this year represents great progress, we want to do even more.
Each year, we receive around 100 brilliant applications from world-class researchers around the world that have the potential to lead to new cures for cancer. But right now, we simply can't fund them all. But with your help, we could close that gap.
New cures for cancer can be started anywhere – whether you're at the bus stop, in the queue at the shops, or relaxing at home on the sofa. It really is that simple.
