Thank you to all the amazing walkers who turned out on Saturday to support our 10 KM charity walk and launch the Mouth Cancer 10 KM Awareness Walk From Home series. The walk was a huge success and will go a long way to raise much needed awareness about the early warning signs of the disease as well as funds to combat all head and neck cancers.
Between Tuesday 1st October and Saturday 30th November 2024 walk as many times as you like on your own or with your family and pets around the comfort of your own area. The charity is encouraging as many people as possible to step out and make a difference during Mouth Cancer Action Month and raise much needed sponsorship.
We have set an ambitious target for this year’s walk. If you are collecting money to support the Mouth Cancer Foundation, please send it to us by 31st December 2024 There is still plenty of time to fundraise. Donate Here

Thank you very much!
Did you know that over 3,034 lives are lost each year in the UK from mouth cancer and worldwide the disease affects around 650,000 per year?
The Mouth Cancer 10 KM Awareness Walk will return to Hyde Park in London sporting a different appearance in 2024. There is a new route, with a choice of distances, enthusiastic support to keep you motived as you march through the Ks and entertainment for all the family including a treasure hunt and prizes for all the children who take part.
Following on from the success of the Mouth Cancer 10 KM Awareness Walks from Home we are sticking with this fantastic opportunity to open up the walking events to more people than ever before. Dental Practices are getting particularly creative with how they walk during October and November so we’re challenging even more Dental Surgeries to sign up and get involved.
This is the 19th year of the annual walk, which is the only walk for mouth cancer anywhere in the world. It is designed to increase awareness of mouth and all head and neck cancers. It is also an opportunity to celebrate survivorship and raise funds to continue to support patients, carers and survivors coping with mouth cancer.

Why support
the Mouth Cancer Foundation?
There are over 8,864 new cases of mouth cancer in the UK every year.
​
The majority of deaths from mouth cancer occur because of late detection, due to a low public awareness of the signs, symptoms, and risks.
​
Self-checks for mouth cancer take just 2 minutes and could save your life, or someone you know.
​
The Mouth Cancer Foundation exists to save and improve the lives of patients, carers and survivors, increase awareness and education about all head and neck cancers. We want to make sure that everyone knows about mouth cancer so that cases can be caught earlier and patients are more likely to survive.
