Wear orange and take cancer out ...

Every day, 87 people are diagnosed with cancer in Scotland.

By joining Stand Up To Cancer, supporters will be uniting with doctors, nurses, scientists and celebrities to generate funds, raise awareness and help accelerate progress.

Lisa Adams, CRUK’s spokeswoman in Scotland, said:“We’d like to thank Shaun, Alex and Chris for their colourful support.

“We’re asking Scots to wear orange, pay up and take cancer out.

“By supporting Stand Up To Cancer, they’ll be helping to raise money and transform the lives of cancer patients and their families.

“All supporters need to do is simply pull on a bright orange item of clothing and get sponsored or make a donation for wearing it.

“One in two people in the UK will develop cancer at some point in their lives. Every day, doctors, nurses and scientists work tirelessly to beat the disease.

“Stand Up To Cancer raises money to speed up breakthroughs from the lab to patients. With support,we can continue to fund vital research to get new and better treatments to cancer patients faster.”

The aim of Stand Up To Cancer is to accelerate the translation of brilliant scientific discoveries into innovative cancer medicine, tests and treatments.

Every donation helps to support this progress and bring forward the day when all cancers are cured.

This year, there are many ways to Stand Up To Cancer and show support.

Cancer Research UK is urging Scots to sign up for their free fundraising pack that includes everything supporters need to spark creative ideas and help beat cancer sooner.

Since it was launched in the UK in 2012, Stand Up To Cancer has raised more than £38 million to fund over 40 clinical trials and research projects.
