Join The First Ever Woof Cancer Day
Family and four legged fundraiser for Cancer Research UK
A family fundraiser welcoming four legged friends has been organised to raise vital cash for Cancer Research UK.
Pet pooches and their owners are being invited to sign up for Woof Cancer Day – a 5-kilometre dog walk around Wimbledon Common, which has been organised by the Woof Wimbledon committee in aid of Cancer Research UK.
The event takes place on Saturday 3rd March 2018 and will feature dogs and their owners taking part in this sponsored dog walk around the Wimbledon area.
Entry is just £5 per dog & £5 per person.
Cancer Research UK is dedicated to saving more lives by preventing, controlling and curing all cancers. The charity funds the work of thousands of scientists, doctors and nurses who are fighting over 200 types of cancer.
Laura Megatli, local fundraising manager at Cancer Research UK, said: “Thanks to Cancer Research UK’s work, more people are surviving cancer than ever before. Survival rates have doubled over the last 40 years and the charity’s work has been at the heart of that progress.
“But despite improvements in treatment, cancer causes more than one in four of all deaths in the UK. Cancer Research UK wants to change that and needs the help of the people in the community to accelerate the progress that is being made against this devastating disease.

Kimberley Salmassian, volunteer event lead, said: “We’re encouraging everyone and their four legged friends to Woof Cancer Day which promises to be an enjoyable day for both participants and their furry friends.
“The event is being held for the first time this year and we hope it will be a huge success. Funds raised from the event will go directly towards Cancer Research UK’s world-class research, which is helping to save thousands of lives every year.”
