We’re The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity

We raise money to support world-leading experts at The Royal Marsden, saving the lives of people with cancer everywhere.

Today, in the UK, someone is diagnosed with cancer every 90 seconds

That’s more than 1,000 people, every day, hearing the devastating news they have cancer. We believe that through funding life-saving research and supporting world-leading treatment and care at The Royal Marsden, we can save the lives of people with cancer everywhere.One in two of us will likely receive a diagnosis in our lifetime. Cancer touches every family, every generation, and every community, which means we need breakthroughs in cancer research more than ever before.
