More ways you can support Cancer Research UK
There are lots of fundraising events for Cancer Research UK throughout the year. There's something to suit everyone – whatever your gender, age, interest or ability. Here are just a few examples:
Race for Life Twilight
After the success of last year, we are launching 20 Twilight events as part of Race for Life 2013. Twilight events are 5k runs which take place in the early evening over two weekends in mid-October. We need you to don your fairy lights, sparklers, glow sticks and shiny accessories ready to take on the night. For more details, visit our Race for Life Twilight page.
Race for Life Pretty Muddy
Pretty Muddy is our brand new, 5k charity obstacle course where women all of ages and abilities climb, jog and walk all over cancer. It can be as challenging as you want to make it. The events are taking place in late September and early October. For more information, visit our Race for Life Pretty Muddy pages.
Shine
Shine is Cancer Research UK's night-time walking marathon. You can choose to either walk the full marathon (26.2 miles) or half marathon (13.1 miles) to raise awareness and funds for our groundbreaking research.
What makes Shine unique is that you can select which type of cancer you want to raise money for or you can also raise funds for our general work. Either way, you can be sure that the funds you raise will be spent wisely where they are needed most.
Relay For Life
Relay For Life is an inspirational 24-hour community event that celebrates and remembers people touched by cancer. It's a mixture of many things – a walking event, a party and a community fête. But above all it’s a fun way to get together with people in your community and raise money for Cancer Research UK.
Race for Life at the Bupa Great North and South Runs
If you enjoyed Race for Life, you will love the Race for Life Sports Team. For only £14.99 you can join the girls at either the Bupa Great North Run or Bupa Great South Run – two of the UK’s biggest and best races.
This is your next challenge – more miles, but the same Race for Life fun. To join our team, or for more information, call us on 020 3469 6052 or email sportsteam@cancer.org.uk.

We also have many incredibly dedicated supporters who organise their own fundraising events throughout the year. Find out what events are happening in your area or organise your own fundraising activity.
