Comedian, musician and creator of BAFTA-winning Taskmaster Alex Horne has devised a celebrity fundraising challenge for Stand Up To Cancer, and is in training for the epic test of physical endurance, mental strength and… friendship. Starting from 10pm on Thursday 11th December, this unique task for Little Alex Horne will push the boundaries of his abilities as visitors on Friday will get the chance to encourage him to keep going.
Stand Up To Cancer UK is a joint national fundraising campaign from Cancer Research UK and Channel 4, bringing the nation together to accelerate life-saving research.
Since its UK launch in 2012, the campaign has raised over £113 million, funding 73 clinical trials and projects involving over 13,000 cancer patients nationwide.
These include research into robotic and laser-assisted cancer surgery, AI to help detect and treat cancers, and even lollipops that could help detect mouth cancer.
