To commemorate World Cancer Day 2025, Cancer Relief Gibraltar, alongside local cancer charities, will be organising two events: an Awareness Day and a Charity Fun Run. 

A statement from Cancer Relief Gibraltar follows below:

These events aim to raise awareness, foster community engagement, and support those affected by cancer.

World Cancer Day Awareness Day

Date: Tuesday, 4th February 2025
Time: 9:30 AM – 2:00 PM
Location: The Piazza, Gibraltar

Cancer Relief Gibraltar, in collaboration with local cancer charities invites the public to an interactive Awareness Day.

The event will have representatives from the above charities as well as a clinical nurse specialist from Cancer Relief Gibraltar, who will be available to answer questions and share valuable information about the support and services available. We will be showcasing the theme of World Cancer Day – United by Unique, which focuses on the fact that “Cancer is more than just a medical diagnosis—it’s a deeply personal matter. Behind every diagnosis lies a unique human story - stories of grief, pain, healing, resilience, love and more. That’s why a people-centred approach to cancer care that fully integrates each individual’s unique needs, with compassion and empathy, leads to the best health outcomes”. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about services and support available, as well as the collaborative efforts of Gibraltar’s local charities in providing unique, personalised care and support for everyone affected by cancer.

World Cancer Day Charity Fun Run

Date: Sunday, 9th February 2025
Time: Registration from 9:00 AM
Location: Casemates Square, Gibraltar

The Charity Fun Run offers an exciting way for the community to come together for a great cause. Participants of all fitness levels are welcome to join as we will be offering participants the choice of taking part in a 5km run OR a 3km walk for walkers and families.

The event will kick off with a fun warm-up session led by Puro Fuego Fitness, followed by a run or walk, depending on the participant's preference.

Participants will be able to choose which cancer charity they donate their registration fee to when they register to ensure everyone has the opportunity to support the cancer charity closest to their heart.

This event is a celebration of community spirit and a show of solidarity with those impacted.
