Cancer is the toughest fight most of us will ever face. After diagnosis, life is taken over by hospital visits, uncertainty and often financial worries. As a specialist respite charity we provide relief from the difficulties of living with cancer.
Ski 4 Cancer provides alpine based respite days and holidays for British families affected by cancer. We also make grants to UK based care institutions and fund research into the positive effects that exercise (e.g. skiing) and other forms of respite (e.g. holidays) can have on cancer prevention and recovery. Find out more about our objectives here.
In order to meet these objectives, Ski 4 Cancer raises funds by working closely with both the skiing and snowboarding communities. Find out how you can help here.
Join our skiing and snowboarding community and help people living with cancer at the same time.

Ski 4 Cancer, the ski and snowboard charity which provides alpine respite holidays for families living with cancer, has received a boost in support from British mountaineer Rhys Jones. |
Ski 4 Cancer, the cancer charity which provides alpine respite holidays for British families living with cancer, has announced a new partnership with the Caring Cancer Trust, itself a provider of alpine respite breaks for British children recovering from the disease. |
As its name suggests, Ski 4 Cancer will use the alpine environment as both a vehicle for fundraising and convalescence. Ski 4 Cancer will be run by a dedicated Committee of skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts. With 40% of Britons developing some form of cancer at some point in their lives, we hope that other skiers and snowboarders touched by the disease will get involved. |
