At Together Against Cancer, our Wellness Centre in Leicester is here to provide comfort, care and hope to those living with cancer. Compassionate support is at the heart of what we do, and our friendly team is on hand to welcome anybody on this dreadful journey achieve a better quality of life. With 1 in 2 of us expected to be diagnosed in our lifetimes, cancer is something that affects us all.

To continue this vital work, we need your help.

Why Support Us?

Together Against Cancer offers free therapies, mental health and wellbeing support designed to improve the quality of life for individuals and families impacted by this disease. These services are in higher demand than ever before, and we’re calling on our community to help us rise to the challenge.

By lacing up your trainers and participating in a Run for Charity race, you can play a key role in ensuring we can continue to provide these life-changing services.

Your Race, Your Pace

These races are for everyone! Whether you’re a seasoned runner aiming for a personal best or someone looking to walk in solidarity, we’ve got options for you:

• 5K: Perfect for beginners or those who prefer a shorter distance.
• 10K: A great middle-ground challenge.
• Half Marathon: For those ready to push themselves for a powerful cause.

Run for Charity races take place throughout the year across the midlands, in locations including Leicester, Birmingham, Nottingham, and Coventry.

The Impact of Your Support

When you run, you’re not just fundraising – you’re actively supporting individuals and families in need. As a small local charity that relies solely on public funding… each step you take directly helps us to continue the vital day-to-day running of our centre and in-demand free support services. With complementary therapies, counselling, activities and workshops… our centre provides essential, life-enhancing wellbeing support that goes beyond what medical treatment can offer.

Community support has been incredible lately, and we are deeply grateful. But with more people accessing our services every day, the need for continued support has never been greater.
