Run 4 Cancer was set up by a team of running enthusiasts, all of whom have lost a family member or a friend to cancer. As a cancer respite charity with a sporting focus, we provide relief from the difficulties of living with cancer.
Run 4 Cancer provides days out and short-breaks for British families affected by cancer. We also make grants to UK based care institutions and fund research into the positive effects of exercise (e.g. running) and how it can help with cancer prevention and recovery.
Cancer is the toughest fight most of us will ever face. After diagnosis, life is taken over by hospital visits, uncertainty and often financial worries. Four in ten people in the UK (40%) will develop some form of cancer during their lifetime.
Join our running community and help people living with cancer at the same time.
