Thanks for visiting our fundraising page. 

WE HAVE DONE IT!!  We all feel extremely pleased and relieved to have completed the 10 miles in glorious sunshine.  A great atmosphere and route meant that some of us are now looking for another challenge. 

THANK you to everyone who has sponsored us and listened to our worries and tails of training.  We really couldn't have achieved what we have without all the support.

THANK YOU

Southampton Cancer Research UK Centre Team.

We are running as a team from the Southampton Cancer Research UK Centre to raise money for the world class research that is happening in the city.

In the team we have cancer researchers including, scientists, researchers, a breast cancer surgeon and a research nurse.  Below is more information about the Centre:

The Southampton Cancer Research UK Centre is a network bringing together scientists, doctors and nurses in the area. They are using the latest research advances to improve treatment for cancer patients in and around Southampton and across the UK.

The Centre is a partnership between Cancer Research UK, the University of Southampton, and Southampton University Hospitals NHS Trust.

Researchers in the Centre are focusing on breast cancer and urological cancers - principally testicular, bladder and kidney cancers - as well as lymphoma. But they are also working on many other types of cancer, including tumours affecting the head and neck cancer, and liver and bile duct cancers.

The Southampton Cancer Research UK Centre is a world-class centre of excellence for research into immunotherapy – how to harness the power of the immune system to treat cancer. The first DNA cancer vaccines were developed here, and scientists at the Centre are at the cutting edge of this exciting field.

Another area of strength in the Centre is cancer genetics – hunting the gene faults that increase an individual’s risk of cancer. And there is also an emphasis on cancer surgery - particularly for head and neck cancers and breast cancer - including focusing on research into this vital treatment.

Southampton has a strong track record in training outstanding cancer scientists, doctors and surgeons – a tradition that is set to continue and grow. The Centre provides the right environment for training the next generation of experts, to ensure that we continue to make progress in beating cancer.
