As of 26 December, 125% of the target £1,000 is reached as 51 supporters have donated a sum of £1,250.03. The money will be used for doing cancer research in the UK. The charity is helping people beat cancer sooner by conducting pioneer life-saving research on the disease which takes many lives and causes sufferings to numerous families every year.
