Celebrate the life of a loved one
Donating in memory of a loved one is a thoughtful way of remembering and celebrating their life.
Each donation will fund world-leading research to help prevent, diagnose and treat cancer right here in Yorkshire.
Other ways to donate in memory
Set up a tribute fund
A tribute fund is a special online place where you, your family and friends can share memories and celebrate the life of a loved one. Tribute fund pages are easy to set up and are a great way to share happy memories, stories and photos. They can also be used to collect individual donations or even to set up your own fundraising event.
MuchLoved is an online tribute site that offers a place to remember someone special.

Asking friends and family to make a donation to Yorkshire Cancer Research instead of flowers is a thoughtful way to honour a loved one and will help save lives in Yorkshire.
