Today is World Cancer Day and I’d be very grateful if you could all please spread the word about cancer research at Birmingham by sharing this animation.
We hope this simple video featuring Pete the Beaker will help promote and fundraise for our life-saving research so please do share this link with friends and family via Facebook, Twitter or any other inventive way you can think of. If enough of us share it, it might go viral and that would be amazing.
If you’re inspired to support our cancer researchers on World Cancer Day, please give online.
Many thanks and best wishes
Nick Blinco
Director of Engagement
