You've done it! You've completed your Race for Life and we’re incredibly proud of you. Make sure you return all the money you've raised – every penny can help us fund life-saving cancer research.
Here are the many ways you can return your fundraising to us:
Just £10 can make a difference - play your part.
Donate £10 now, by texting RACE10 to 70180, to make a one-off donation.
It couldn't be easier to donate your money to help us take a step closer to a world where everybody can live longer, better lives, free from the fear of cancer.
Last year, 240,000 people didn't return any money – if all of them had raised just £10 each, that could have been an extra £2.4 million raised to fund our discoveries.
The simplest way to return your sponsorship is by using your Cancer Research UK Giving Page.
It's easy for your friends and family to donate and you can easily keep track of how much you've fundraised.
