Join #TeamBigC, challenge yourself, have fun and raise funds!

From golf days to marathons, and football to bake sales, we’ve got a great line up of events this year. Take a look at what we’ve got planned and help raise funds to support local people affected by cancer.

Jingle Jangle Fun Run

14 December

Get your running shoes out, your Christmas Santa hat on and join us as we jingle our way through Thetford Forest for a festive 2.5k or 5k family fun challenge.

Wrist bands with jingle bells will be worn to recreate that wonderful Christmas sound of Santa’s sleigh, to give us all that magical festive feel.

We know that there’s no better way to bring people together than with a good cup of tea and a slice of cake, so get the venue set, grab your favourite mug and have a natter all in aid of Big C.

“I’m so proud of myself and our team of poos! None of us are runners, and yet somehow, knowing that every step we took and every pound raised was going to help people in the same situation as my dad had been, made me keep going. It was an incredible experience.”
