Over the last 40 years our work has helped double breast cancer survival, supported the development of radiotherapy and played a role in developing 8 of the world’s top 10 cancer drugs²

Every one of our wins against cancer is powered by the pounds you donate. By fundraising for Shine Night Walk, you help make breakthroughs possible.

Fundraising and training support

We’re with you every step of the way

Shine Night Walk is about all of us coming together to beat cancer. We’re here to help you from fundraising to the finish line. We recommend a fundraising goal of £150 for 10K walkers and £260 for half and full marathon walkers, but no matter how much you raise, your fundraising powers our progress. You can get more support from fellow walkers in the Shine Night Walk Facebook group.
