At Cancer Research UK, our ambition is to accelerate progress so that 3 in 4 people survive cancer by 2034. We are optimistic about the future. We are the largest charitable funder of cancer research in the world, and will stay at the forefront of the global fight against cancer. The world-class research that we fund will keep making transformative steps in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer.  

 Our supporters help fund the doctors, nurses and research scientists across the UK that develop pioneering new ways to diagnose, treat and cure cancer. 1 in 2 of us will get cancer but through events like Swimathon, and with your support we can fund the research that will beat it.
