Show your Stripes this September

It's September and that can only mean one thing - it's time to Show your Stripes again for Cancer Research Wales!

We're inviting schools, businesses, community groups and individuals across Wales to get involved and make this the biggest and best Show your Stripes ever.

World Cancer Research Day

As we celebrate World Cancer Research Day on 24 September, we're asking everyone to put on their favourite stripey clothes or accessories, raise awareness and hold a fundraiser to help support vital cancer research here in Wales.

Taking part is simple! All you need to do is wear stripes, get involved and raise funds in a way that works for you.

Whether it's a non-uniform day at school, a bake sale in the office, a community coffee morning or a sponsored challenge with your club, every fundraiser helps make a difference.

Why stripes?

Did you know the Cancer Research Wales logo is inspired by the DNA sequencing gels researchers use to identify genetic changes linked to cancer?

The colours within our brand were influenced by the dyes used in DNA gels in laboratories, helping researchers interpret important results more clearly.

That's why Show your Stripes is such a perfect way to show your support – stripes are part of the science, the research and the identity behind Cancer Research Wales.

We are the Welsh cancer research charity. Help us fund world class research in Wales.

Every week in Wales, 175 families lose a loved one to cancer. We are working to make sure that the people of Wales don't have to accept cancer as a life-threatening disease. But we need your support. Donate today and help bring better treatments closer to home for patients across Wales.
