Where the money goes
Your donations bring us closer to a cure
How we help doctors, scientists and researchers
Together, we can outsmart cancer. By funding more study into the causes and treatment of cancer, as well as providing programs to improve the day-to-day life of people affected by cancer, we can work towards a cancer-free future.
Since 2007, your support has helped us to fund incredible work in cancer research, support and prevention. You’ve helped us raise more than $118 million, to fund 1,000 cancer projects. These projects have led to 150 major cancer research breakthroughs, increasing our understanding of the causes of cancer, finding new treatments, and improving diagnosis rates.
The researchers we talk to every day are confident that they can find a cure for cancer. Your support can help them reach that goal.
