Our committee was founded in 1999 by a group of concerned women whose aim was to ensure a better future for their children and future generations through research into cures for cancer. We all know someone who has been affected by cancer and so we are passionate about continuing with our fundraising efforts to support such a worthwhile cause.

Each year we choose a different Cancer Research UK project to support and eight years on we have raised a total of over a MILLION POUNDS!

Every day 700 people in the UK are told they have cancer. Whilst these figures may seem overwhelming, together we can make a difference and we are, but it takes time, effort and money and your support.

Our Project for 2007

Our project for 2007 is the inspirational research of Professor Richard Begent at the Cancer Research UK Targetting and Imaging Group at the Royal Free and University College Medical School. This group are using ground-breaking antibody technology to target cancer cells specifically, Professor Begent and his team are developing a more effective and better tolerated treatment for people with cancer.
