Both of us have had family members effected by Cancer in recent months and as a result our cause is particularly close to our hearts.
We chose to raise funds for the Institute of Cancer Research UK to help them with the fantastic work they are doing in the UK, with the aim of allowing us all to live our lives without the fear of Cancer as a life threatening disease.
From its foundation in 1909 as a small research department of the Royal Marsden Hospital, the ICR has grown to become one of the world’s foremost independent cancer research organisations.
Their mission:
Is to relieve human suffering by pursuing excellence in the fight against cancer through:
- Research into the causes, prevention, diagnosis and methods of treatment of cancer
- Education and advanced training of medical and scientific staff
- Treatment and care of the highest quality for cancer patients
- Attraction and development of resources to the optimum effect
All that they do is driven by a set of values, which reflect their mission. You can find out more about ICR by clicking on the image above.
