By the year 2007 cancer will have overtaken cardio-vascular disease as the biggest killer in Northern Ireland, with 1 in 9 of all cancers being diagnosed before the age of 45.

The aim of the Ulster Cancer Foundation is to reduce the impact of cancer in our community and to help alleviate the suffering of the 8,700 people who are newly diagnosed with cancer in Northern Ireland each year.

Our work saves lives - but our work needs money.

All of the ?2 million which we need each year to continue our lifesaving work is raised locally through voluntary donations, so if you can help us in any way, you'll be making an important contribution in the battle to 'Combat Cancer' in Northern Ireland.You can help us:

• Send a Donation today.
• Volunteer your time or services.
• Support our Shops.
• Take part in, or organise, fundraising Events.

All the money we raise in Northern Ireland is spent here in helping local people face their fight against cancer - Thank you for helping make this possible.
