Pledge to make a difference, together.
Action Against Cancer (AAC) funds the development of cures for cancer. The cutting edge programmes that we support aim to improve the survival prospects and quality of life for millions of cancer sufferers. AAC is different because we lack bureaucracy, making us able to support innovative new scientific research. We provide crucial seed funding to projects that could not secure support from other sources. Larger funders require existing data before providing finance for experiments, and this does not allow for brand new ideas - AAC fills this gap. Our fast-moving approach has been shown to work, with the discovery of a cancer-causing gene, and the identification of important molecules that suppress tumours and decrease the spread of certain cancer cells and much more. We believe that cutting edge research that takes risks and pushes boundaries is the only way cancer will be beaten.Funds given to Action Against Cancer are spent on scientists’ salaries and the essential equipment that they need to make life saving breakthroughs, in laboratories at Imperial College London, the University of Sussex and Anglia Ruskin University Cambridge. We are low on bureaucracy and have a very small staff team working from home, so no office to pay for. This means low overheads. Our supporters know their donations make a big impact.We are incredibly grateful to all of our wonderful fundraisers, donors and supporters. Thank you so much.
