Stride for Cancer

Make strides for cancer care

Since its opening by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth in 1997, St Luke’s has grown from treating around 2,500 patients in its first year to now conducting over 60,000 outpatient appointments annually. Their dedicated staff provide exceptional care to every patient who walks through their doors.

To ensure the Royal Surrey Cancer Centre remains a vital resource for those battling cancer for years to come, we need your support. Every penny you raise through our sponsored walk will make a significant impact—helping fund lifesaving equipment, support innovative treatments, and enhancing the centre to provide a more comfortable and welcoming environment for all patients.

Who will you make strides for?

Rally family and friends, choose a distance to suit you (5km, 10km, 15km or 25km), and get walking to support the future of cancer care.

“I will never forget the outstanding care I received and I am forever grateful to each and every one of the amazing staff who cared for me.”

We can't wait to see you there! Questions? Say hello on info@xnrg.co.uk
