  The first oneI will be concentrating on is cancer research uk, this is a charity raising money to help find a cure for cancer. The money that they raise is used towards curing cancer. We are told on their website simple facts that can influence your thought on this charity for example we are informed that 450 people survive cancer everyday with the help of cancer research and that there were 72 donations made that day online. http://www.cancerresearchuk.org. Cancer research offers clinical trials for those people who have cancer and for those who know people who are suffering from this illness. Their research is known as 'ground breaking' and has helped save many lives. They support more than 250 clinical trials across the uk. In these clinical trials they suggest how to improve cancer treatments and also helping to make treatments available for all type of patients to all types of cancers whether that's breast cancer or lymphoma. They raise money by doing charity runs, having charity boxes in shops and events, marathons and a whole lot of other events. They have a procedure on their website where you can say how much you want to give to this charity weekly or monthly and it can all be done in a few simple steps. Their website overall is very informative and gives you a lot of knowledge on this illness and the other thing which is really interesting is that it obtains comments from people who have had cancer and have recovered from it with the help of cancer research uk and also from people who have known others who have survived this illness. All this money is used to provide equipment to scientists who can and will help to find a cure. Fundraising ideas which cancer research had in the month of December gives you an idea of how many different ways there are to raise money-  Christmas jumper day-donate to wear your favourite festive jumper  Mince pie Monday sale  Hold a raffle for unwanted Christmas presents  Christmas carols  Christmas themed parties http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/support-us/do-your-own-fundraising/fundraising-ideas. These are just a few ideas of fundraising that were suggested on their website any type of event can be used to raise money and cancer research show just that. There was a campaign against smoking which then stopped tobacco advertisement. This links to cancer research as tobacco can cause cancer so it helped to reduce the risk of getting cancer. There was a decrease of cigarettes sold as there were famous people like Richard Branson discouraging people to stop smoking. So overall we learn that there are many factors linking to Cancer research to help it become what it is campaigns against smoking , scientists and laboratories to help find the cure, fundraising events etc.
