Why run for Sussex Cancer Fund?
By choosing to fundraise for Sussex Cancer Fund, you are helping to make a real and practical difference to cancer services across Sussex. We work alongside NHS teams to fund what matters most — often things that cannot be covered by statutory funding but have a meaningful impact on people’s care and experience.
Your fundraising can help support:
- Specialist equipment that supports diagnosis, treatment and recovery
- Improvements to clinical and patient spaces, making appointments more comfortable and welcoming
- Support services that contribute to wellbeing during and after treatment
- Sussex-based cancer research that has the potential to improve care and outcomes
Every pound raised is used carefully to support projects that benefit people receiving cancer care in Sussex, as well as the teams who care for them.

- Theme park entry included – enjoy the rides once you’ve crossed the finish line
