Jersey women (and men!) are being invited sign up to Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life.
Taking place on Saturday 24th - Sunday 25th July 2023 at FB Fields
Cancer Research is inviting Jersey women and men to sign up to Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life. This event is open to all! Men, women and children!
Cancer is the main cause of death in Jersey, accounting for 34% of all deaths on the Island – which is why the charity is urging women of all shapes, sizes, ages and abilities to enter Race for Life 5k or 10k events at Les Jardins de la Mer on Sunday 22nd May 2022.
By signing up to Race for Life, women in Jersey will make a real difference in the fight against cancer. Money raised will help Cancer Research UK scientists find new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat the disease, helping save more lives.
Funds raised from the event will benefit local residents by funding Cancer Research UK’s Research Centre based at Southampton Hospital.
Many patients from Jersey are treated in Southampton, it is considered the local hospital for Cancer treatment, as well as the closest hospital for clinical trials as there is no research environment in Jersey. By signing up for Race For Life, Islanders will be helping to raise money for life-saving cancer research that will help to beat cancer sooner.

Relay For Life is entirely free to enter and truly is an event for the entire family.

Race for Life: This is Beating Cancer.
Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life is a series of events raising money for research into all 200 types of cancer. This is no ordinary 5k or 10km race, this is thousands of people across the UK and Channel Islands uniting with one purpose, to come together, to raise money, to beat cancer. People of all ages, abilities and backgrounds take part in the Race for Life, and are invited to either walk, jog or run the course.
The CRUK Jersey Golf Day will be on Friday 5th July 2024
The Cancer Research UK Jersey Golf day is held annually at the Royal Jersey Golf Club. Corporate and private teams are welcome, participants are invited to enter teams of four to play 18 holes in a Stableford format.
The event is generously sponsored by Brooks Macdonald so that all money raised from the event goes towards life-saving research work. Additional sponsorship and branding opportunities are available around the course as a way for local businesses to advertise and support the charity. The entrance fee is £700 per team which includes green fees, bacon rolls and coffee at the start, refreshments on the course and lunch in the clubhouse. Since its establishment the golf day has raised in excess of £250k for Cancer Research UK, it is a well-supported and longstanding event in the golfing calendar.

Each year, many volunteers in Jersey help us through a variety of ways to raise money for Cancer Research. We greatly appreciate the valuable contribution from every single person, helping us to beat cancer and save lives.
Below are some of the ways in which you can get involved in helping us beat cancer:
The strong relationship between Jersey and Southamption is crucial for the many patients from Jersey who are treated in Southampton; it is considered the local hospital for Cancer treatment, as well as the closest hospital for clinical trials as there is no research environment in Jersey.
The local committee maintains a close working relationship with the team at Southampton, ensuring that funds raised in Jersey are allocated with a tangible benefit to Islanders.
The Southampton Cancer Research Centre has more than 150 scientists, doctors and nurses are working faster and smarter to beat cancer sooner.
...we funded 5 PhD students and 5 new Investigators...
...we supported 12 clinical trials...
...and we spent over £6 million on research!
