100 Push-ups a Day for Cancer Research

“1 in 2 people will develop some form of cancer during their lifetime”
NHS [https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/cancer/]

I’m raising funds for Cancer Research UK by completing 100 push-ups a day in November.

I have friends and family who have beaten cancer, yet not all are so lucky.

Thanks to the generosity of supporters over the last 40 years, Cancer Research UK have helped double cancer survival in the UK.

The difference your money makes:

£50 can buy special restriction enzymes
£150 could fund a day of the clinical trial of the iKnife for breast cancer removal surgery
£200 funds a team of 10 cancer nurses for 1 hour

Cancer is happening right now, which is why I’m fundraising right now for Cancer Research UK. There’s no time to lose!

Please show your support and help fund life-saving research by donating to my fundraising page.
