The campaign allows us to make a donation by sponsoring a day which is special to you and helps make it an exstrordinary day in the fight against cancer.

Sofia has decided to make a donation and has sponsored the 11th September, the date of her birthday. In the year 2004 over 700 people from all over Europe participated to sponsor a day, raising around £ 100,000.

All donations made, like that of Sofia's, will be used to revolutionise research, treatment, detection and accurate diagnosis of cancer. The Marsden wants to create a modern centre to enable them to offer more day hospital treatments and a unit that will double the phase one clinical trials.
