Although it was at no extra cost, we thank our customers for helping to generate these much needed funds." The 4 Cancer Group incorporates a number of standalone sporting divisions including the skiing charity Ski 4 Cancer and sailing charity Sail 4 Cancer. Funding research into the positive effects that exercise can have on cancer prevention and recovery, the charity also provides respite breaks for British families affected by cancer and makes grants to UK based cancer care institutions. Chris Stone, volunteer and trustee at the 4 Cancer Group, comments: "Sport and other forms of respite such as holidays are extremely important for families living with cancer.
