**Cancer Research UK’s latest fundraising event is SlideRider, giving individuals
a chance to plunge head-first down a 100 metre inflatable slide in aid of the cancer
charity.**

All money raised through sales of SlideRider tickets will be used for the Cancer
Research UK Kids & Teens campaign. The campaign is raising money to accelerate research
to find cures and kinder treatments for children, teens and young adults with cancer.

The three-lane water slide event made its debut in Norwich on 4 July and will next
appear at Alexandra Palace, London, on Saturday 25 July. Tickets at the event cost
£20 per person for two slides.

The charity recommends that, although there are tickets available on the day, would-
be participants should register in advance.

Giving goes up for CRUK as fundraising goes downhill

Clive Sanders, head of events at Cancer Research UK said:

> “We’re really excited to be launching [SlideRider](http://www.cruk.org/slideriderlondon).
> Every day, around ten young people in the UK are diagnosed with cancer. The good
> news is that more children are now surviving than ever before, but there is still
> much more work to be done. We hope SlideRider will be an exhilarating challenge
> and a fun day out for anyone who wants to help us beat childhood cancers sooner.”

There are age restrictions for participants, and CRUK recommends that participants
with pre-existing medical conditions seek advice from their doctor before registering.
