Run for FORCE in the Great West Run 2026!

Be part of something amazing...

Be part of something amazing...

In 2024 Team FORCE raised £100,000

In 2025 Team FORCE are on track to raise £200,000

Be part of Team FORCE 2026 and do something amazing!

£100,000 was enough to cover all of our support and education groups for a whole year – our pioneering Moving Forward and Living with Non-Curable Cancer programmes, Mindfulness and Relaxation and Anxiety Management sessions, all invaluable for cancer patients and their families.

£200,000 will fund FORCE’s Oncology Support Specialist Service for eight months, ensuring patients and their families receive expert counselling, compassionate care and emotional support at a time when it matters most.

Thank you to all our previous runners for your support and we are excited to see how you will impact more local people affected by cancer in 2026!
