Run a marathon or compete in a community sporting event for cancer research

Participating in a local marathon or an existing community sporting event is not only a fun way to get fit, but a great way for you to help raise much needed funds for cancer research.

Whether you’re competing as part of a team, or taking part individually, it’s as simple as registering for the marathon or community sporting event and asking your family, friends and colleagues to sponsor you. Our partnership with online fundraising portal Everyday Hero allows you to create a fundraising page for your sporting event in just minutes.
