Make a donation
Even if you can’t take part in a Race for Life event this year, you can make a donation to Cancer Research UK. Your donation will enable us to prevent, diagnose and treat all 200 types of cancer.
Where your money goes
We receive no government funding, so whatever you can give really will make a difference. Watch this video to find out more about what your money can do.
Gift Aid your donation
Tick the Gift Aid box if you are a UK taxpayer. Gift Aid can increase the value of your donation by at least 25% – at no additional cost to you. Don't forget to leave a message of support when you make your donation.
Please note that if you are donating on behalf of a group, company, or someone else, then we cannot claim Gift Aid on the donation.
