Now is the time to stand up to cancer
On Friday 12 December, we’re back with an unmissable night of entertainment on Channel 4 at 7:30pm, including Celebrity Gogglebox and The Last Leg. The evening features moving stories, performances and fundraising moments all fronted by a host of special guests.
Stand Up To Cancer takes developments in the lab and turns them into new tests and treatments for people who need them. Since it began in 2012, Stand Up To Cancer has funded nearly a million hours' worth of pioneering research. Almost 1 in 2 of us will get cancer in our lifetime. 100% of the money you donate will fund life-saving research.
