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.
