Cancer Research: Let their legacy be a world where everybody lives longer, better lives, free from the fear of cancer.
Giving in memory of a loved one is a special way to honour their life. At the Cancer Research UK website, there are different ways to leave a tribute for your loved one, however you choose.
Set up a Cancer Research UK Tribute Page
Create a personalised tribute page and join with friends and family to celebrate someone special to you, all while raising money for vital cancer research.
A Cancer Research UK Tribute Page is an online memorial space that you can create and personalise in honour of a loved one. It’s a place for you, family and friends to remember and celebrate the life of someone who’s special to you.
A Tribute Page is easy to set up and allows you to fundraise in your loved one’s memory.
Organise a funeral or memorial collection
Organising a funeral or memorial collection can be a meaningful way for a group of people to honour a loved one. You can pay in your donation online if you’ve already collected money.
Why Cancer Research UK?
We’re the world’s leading cancer charity, dedicated to saving and improving lives with our research, influence and information.
In our centres and institutes across the country, more than 4,000 scientists, doctors and nurses are working together on lab studies and clinical trials to discover more about cancer. And we partner with organisations in the UK and across the globe to unite powerful teams and networks of researchers across borders, disciplines and diseases.
We also give people up-to-date information about cancer to help them reduce their risk and spot signs and symptoms. And we use our influence to drive policy changes that will lead to better prevention measures, tests and treatments for everyone, no matter who they are, where they live or what type of cancer they have.
We’ve been working to beat cancer for more than 100 years. We launched some of the earliest studies into risk factors for the disease. Our scientists led the development of chemotherapy and radiotherapy and improved the way surgery is used to tackle cancer. And 8 in 10 people who receive cancer drugs on the NHS receive a drug developed by us, or with us.* In the last 50 years alone, our work has helped double cancer survival in the UK.
But there’s so much more to do. Cancer remains a defining health issue of our time. More people are surviving cancer than ever before, but the number of cases is increasing year on year. Nearly 1 in 2 of us will get cancer in our lifetime.**
Our vision is a world where everybody lives longer, better lives, free from the fear of cancer. A world where more cancers are prevented. Where people with cancer are diagnosed at the earliest possible stage and given kinder, more targeted treatments. And where everyone shares in this progress equally.
Step by step, day by day, our researchers are making this vision a reality. And they’ve got our whole community behind them: supporters, partners, donors, fundraisers, volunteers and staff.
Together we are beating cancer.
