Stand Up To Cancer with Davina

The three musketeers reunite this October as Davina returns with cheeky chappys Alan Carr and Dr Christian Jessen to host Channel 4’s annual Stand Up to Cancer fundraiser.

The trio will be urging the nation to join forces with famous faces from TV, music and film in order to raise more money to accelerate new cancer treatments to UK patients and show cancer – it’s payback time.

Stand Up to Cancer is the joint national event from Channel 4 and Cancer Research UK. The first UK event in 2012 became the most successful charity fundraiser on UK commercial TV, reaching an incredible 7.8m people and raising a staggering £8m.

This year’s show will be jam packed with programming from entertainment and science to documentaries - featuring some of Channel 4’s and the UK’s best loved talent and respected researchers.

Funds from previous years have already been allocated to world-leading translational research projects and clinical trials in the UK. But there is still much more to be done to help bring more effective treatments to patients sooner.

Stand Up To Cancer is back on your screens on Friday 17th October at 7:30pm.
