All funds raised from the Cambridge Dragon Boat Festival 2025 will be used in support of the Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital. The Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital will bring together clinical and research expertise in a new, world-class hospital, designed in partnership with staff and patients. We will detect cancer earlier, treat it more precisely, and save more lives.
Donate to the 2025 CCRH team
The Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital (CCRH) project team, supported by colleagues working in Cancer services at Addenbrooke’s and our amazing Patient Advisory Group, are excited to be taking part in the Dragon Boat festival this year.
We’re hoping to make a big splash and ‘drum up’ further support for the East of England’s future cancer hospital.
