Make the most of your page
- People want to know why you’re raising money for Cancer Research UK, so updating your page by adding photos, videos and your story can really help boost fundraising.
- Make sure you share your page on Facebook and Twitter and email it to your friends and family. It’s a great way to reach a lot of people!
- Let people know that their donation will make a real difference to our research and their money can help save lives.
- Top Tip! Try and get the most generous person to donate to your online fundraising page first. That way, when other people visit your fundraising page they may be tempted to match or 'out donate' them.
Fundraise as an individual
- Find your event, and then start the entry process
- Select a fundraising target you would like to achieve
- After payment, select the option to ‘Fundraise on my own’
- All you have to do now is start fundraising!
Fundraise in a group
Want to fundraise as part of a group?
No problem, just set up a group fundraising page and raise money online with friends and family.
Your entry fee can't beat cancer. Only you can.
Whilst your entry fee covers the cost of your event, it's those valuable donations that will help save lives – which is why we ask our participants to raise a minimum of £50.

Where your money goes
Each step we make towards beating cancer relies on each pound donated. Here are some examples of how the money you raise can help us become cancer’s worst nightmare:
- £20 covers the cost of running Cancer Chat for one hour
- £30 is the cost of running a cervical cancer trial for one day
- £80 buys a bunsen burner which can help our scientists to ignite ground-breaking research
- £300 can pay for special chemicals called antibodies, to light up microscopic parts of the cell
