Santa in the City is back!

We're getting together a team for the iconic festive Santa Run - join us on the 2nd, 3rd or 4th of December! 🎅

Starting at 7pm in Paternoster Square (near St Paul's), with hundreds of Santas all setting off on a 4.5km loop around London, finishing back in the same place. You can run or walk, and the Santa Suit and event medal are included in the sign-up fee (only £15 - usually £30 through the event organisers)!

It's a great social event, and you can take part at completely your own pace - the more the merrier!

Message us for more information, or email cancerfund@uclhcharity.org.uk 💜

Another weekend, another supporter conquers a marathon!

This time the congratulations go to the wonderful Gurdas, who took on the Yorkshire Marathon in support of his brother-in-laws treatment at UCLH - University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

"There's so much to be done, from being able to prevent the side effects of treatment through to fighting cancer itself, to just making the end more comfortable and letting people have more autonomy."

Gurdas will also be running the London Marathon in 2026 💜
