OUR MISSION

Our mission is to promote research, principally in Yorkshire, into the cause and cure of cancer and to publish and share the results of this research with the world's scientific community for the benefit of mankind.

We do this by fundraising in Yorkshire and providing grants to Yorkshire academic institutions.

Brave Nina's swimming challenge to raise £1000

Local school girl, Nina Briggs Moubayed from Masham Church of England Primary School is aiming to raise £1000 for Yorkshire Cancer Research by swimming one mile (64 lengths of Bedale pool) on Monday 22nd March.

Nina is just 9 years old and used to be terrified of water! Her swimming teacher Andy Eyles at Bedale Swimming Baths coaxed  her into the water and she's gone from strength to strength. Nina is asthmatic and allergic to the swimming pool water (it gives her big itchy blisters) but she now loves swimming and is determined to swim one mile in memory of both her grandparents who died of cancer, one 4 years ago and the other just last week.

Nina says, "I've already done half a mile a few months ago and it was easy so now I'm going to do a full mile. The reason I have chosen to do it for Yorkshire Cancer Research is because I think it's a horrible disease and I want to help make people better. My grandads died from it. It would be good if you could help by sponsoring me so Yorkshire Cancer Research can find more cures."
