Charity support for Cancer Research UK Cancer Research UK is the world's leading charity dedicated to beating cancer through research and have discovered new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer, that together have saved millions of lives across the world. Thanks to your generosity, Astra Imprints Limited have now donated over £1,000,000 to Cancer Research UK and with your continued support, will continue to raise funds in the years to come. To let you know just how valuable your support is, below is a message from Harpal S. Kumar, Chief Executive Cancer Research UK. We’d like to say thank you. We’ve achieved amazing things this year. Our scientists have discovered safer and kinder treatments for thyroid and bladder cancer. They’ve also revealed new genetic variations that increase the risk of breast, prostate and ovarian cancers. And over 80,000 people pledged support for our campaign to remove branding from tobacco packs to make smoking less attractive to young people. Our vision is to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured – from the most common types to those that affect just a few people. Together we’re leading the world in discovering and developing new ways to prevent and treat cancer. As a result, we’ve helped double survival rates in just 40 years. We can’t stop here. There’s so much more to do. The risk of being diagnosed with cancer is rising. We receive no Government funding for our research. But with your support, our scientists, doctors and nurses continue to make sure more people survive. We couldn’t do it without you. By working together we will beat more cancers sooner. Registered Charity No. 1089464. www.cancerresearchuk.org
