Chief Executive at Cancer Research UK (CRUK)

At Cancer Research UK (CRUK), we have come so far over the past 50 years, but we must do more. We are in a golden age of cancer research, but funding is holding us back. Now is the time to do things differently, which is why we launched our #MoreResearchLessCancer campaign earlier this year. Our analysis found there needs to be an increase in cancer research funding of more than £1bn by 2033 in the UK, to keep pace with both inflation and increases in cancer cases, and backing research is one of the five key pledges in our #CancerManifesto for #LongerBetterLives. It was wonderful to join some of our valued supporters and friends at a reception event to share our thanks for their generous support for our More Research, Less Cancer campaign so far - support that will help enable us to make transformative steps forward in how we prevent, diagnose and treat cancer.
