Why should I sign up?
Take on a fun, achievable challenge and get moving every day this October.
Whether you’re a skipping pro or haven’t picked up a rope since the playground, 112 Skips a Day is something you can fit around everyday life. Do your skips at home, in the garden, at the gym or wherever suits you.
You’ll be joining a community of other people taking on the same challenge, giving you plenty of motivation to keep going throughout October.
There’s also a really natural connection between the challenge and WCRF’s work: being physically active is one of the important ways we can reduce our risk of cancer.

Why choose World Cancer Research Fund and cancer prevention?
Around 40% of cancer cases in the UK could be prevented – that’s around 158,000 cases every year.
World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) researches how diet, body weight and physical activity affect people’s risk of developing and surviving cancer, and turns that evidence into information that can help people live healthier lives.
-
Where will my fundraising go?
Every pound raised helps WCRF continue its work to prevent cancer and save lives.
Fundraising helps WCRF fund research into cancer prevention and survival, translate scientific evidence into practical health information, support people living with and beyond cancer, and campaign for environments and policies that make healthier choices easier. WCRF’s international network has invested around £160 million in research to date.
New shoes. Photos on the doorstep. Another first day back at school 🎒
For many parents, September brings moments they'll treasure. But for a parent who has faced breast cancer, it can be a milestone they once feared they would never see.
Sarah was diagnosed just one week ...after going birth to her son, Ted. At one point, she wondered whether she would live long enough to see him grow up.
This October, we're asking you to complete 112 Skips a Day for the 11,200 people who die from breast cancer each year in the UK.
Because behind that number are thousands of people – mothers, daughters, sisters, partners and friends – and thousands of moments their families want more of.

What can $1 achieve?
Investing $1 in proven, cost-effective ways to prevent and control NCDs can generate at least $7 in economic returns through better health, increased productivity, and stronger economies.
Yet NCDs account for around three-quarters of deaths worldwide, ...while receiving a small share of global health and development funding.
We need greater investment in NCD prevention, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, where the burden of NCDs is growing rapidly.
Investing in prevention means healthier people, stronger health systems, and more resilient economies. Click the hashtag to learn more - #LeadOnNCDs
