Jersey are being invited to sign up for Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life.
Cancer Research UK is inviting people across Jersey to sign up for Race for Life, a powerful fundraising event open to everyone, women, men, families, friends, all ages and all abilities.
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in Jersey. In the most recent Jersey Mortality Report (2024), cancer accounted for around 31% of all deaths on the Island. That is why Islanders are being encouraged to take part in the 3k, 5k or 10k Race for Life events at Les Jardins de la Mer on Sunday 17 May 2026 from 11:00am
By signing up to Race for Life, participants in Jersey can make a real difference in the fight against cancer. Every pound raised helps Cancer Research UK scientists find new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat the disease, helping more people live longer, better lives.
Money raised through the Jersey Race for Life supports life saving cancer research that benefits local residents, including research linked to Southampton, where many Islanders receive cancer treatment and access to clinical trials.
Many patients from Jersey are treated in Southampton, which is the main off island centre for cancer care and the closest hospital offering access to clinical trials, as Jersey does not have its own research facilities. By taking part in Race for Life, Islanders are helping to fund the breakthroughs that shape future treatments and improve survival.
Sign up today, choose your distance, and get moving with Race for Life Jersey. Bring your friends, bring your family, and be part of a Jersey community doing something powerful together.

Race for Life: This is Beating Cancer.
Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life is a series of events raising money for research into all 200 types of cancer. This is no ordinary 5k or 10km race, this is thousands of people across the UK and Channel Islands uniting with one purpose, to come together, to raise money, to beat cancer. People of all ages, abilities and backgrounds take part in the Race for Life, and are invited to either walk, jog or run the course.
The CRUK Jersey Golf Day will be on Friday 4th July 2025
The Cancer Research UK Jersey Golf day is held annually at the Royal Jersey Golf Club. Corporate and private teams are welcome, participants are invited to enter teams of four to play 18 holes in a Stableford format.
The event is generously sponsored by Canaccord so that all money raised from the event goes towards life-saving research work. Additional sponsorship and branding opportunities are available around the course as a way for local businesses to advertise and support the charity. The entrance fee is £700 per team which includes green fees, bacon rolls and coffee at the start, refreshments on the course and lunch in the clubhouse. Since its establishment the golf day has raised in excess of £250k for Cancer Research UK, it is a well-supported and longstanding event in the golfing calendar.

Each year, many volunteers in Jersey help us through a variety of ways to raise money for Cancer Research. We greatly appreciate the valuable contribution from every single person, helping us to beat cancer and save lives.
Below are some of the ways in which you can get involved in helping us beat cancer:
The strong relationship between Jersey and Southamption is crucial for the many patients from Jersey who are treated in Southampton; it is considered the local hospital for Cancer treatment, as well as the closest hospital for clinical trials as there is no research environment in Jersey.
The local committee maintains a close working relationship with the team at Southampton, ensuring that funds raised in Jersey are allocated with a tangible benefit to Islanders.
The Southampton Cancer Research Centre has more than 150 scientists, doctors and nurses are working faster and smarter to beat cancer sooner.
...we funded 5 PhD students and 5 new Investigators...
...we supported 12 clinical trials...
...and we spent over £6 million on research!

Thanks to dramatic improvements in prevention, diagnosis and treatment, survival rates for people with cancer have doubled over the last 40 years.
Xano was five when he was diagnosed with neuroblastoma. This little boy received immunotherapy over a five month period and is now in complete remission. Xano is loving life and school with a positive attitude! We can save many more lives with Southampton’s new Centre for Cancer immunology, but we need your help!
Cancer Research UK Jersey is the local fundraising committee of Cancer Research UK, the largest volunteer supported cancer research organisation in the world. The committee traces its roots back to July 1953 when the then Bailiff of Jersey, Lord Coutanche, initiated the establishment of a Jersey fundraising team.
The Jersey committee is dedicated to actively promoting fundraising initiatives in aid of Cancer Research UK, in order to support research into the cause of cancer and the means of treating it more effectively. With your help, we believe we can beat cancer sooner.
