16 members of the Bushido Karate Association club took on the Push-Ups Challenge, raising an incredible £11,750.
Helen Buchanan – “I lost my own mum to cancer when I was 20 years old, the same age as my daughter, Rhu, now, so it’s always on my mind. Bushido has been a huge influence so myself and Rhu didn’t hesitate to join this amazing cause to raise funds and awareness of this terrible disease.”
Dr Chris McCabe – “As a scientist, I know all too well the impact that research funding can have to support early-stage exploratory research through to clinical studies. Being part of the Bushido 100 team not only fosters motivation but also raises funds for such a vital cause.”
The difference your fundraising makes
Nearly 1 in 2 of us will get cancer in our lifetime*, but your fundraising can make a difference.
By taking on the 100 Push-Ups a Day Challenge, you're supporting the research that helps beat it.
£70 could fund a clinical research grant for one day, funding doctors and nurses to find new ways to beat cancer.
£130 could fund a cancer nurse for one day, giving people confidential cancer support and guidance.
£170 could fund a trial for one day to test new radiotherapy techniques for treating bile duct cancer.
