A charity formed by windsurfers to raise cancer awareness and so promote early diagnosis and healthy lifestyles, to reduce the incidence of the disease. And through specific projects raise funds for cancer research, education and support (see Objectives in "about W4CR").
W4CR aims to increase survival rates by educating the public (through the windsurfing fraternity), with an improved understanding of cancer.

Sunrise Sunset 2nd May 2010
Sunrise Sunset 2010 will be held on Sunday 2nd May in conjunction with the start of National Windsurfing Week. Feedback on our 2009 event has been overwhelmingly positive, but we know that for 2010, with your help, we can organise an even better and bigger national event.
Blog
David Tuttlebee continues to write his monthly blog ; this provides an account of his experience and the ups and downs of both living with, and seeking to beat cancer. It is his hope that the blog will provide a degree of support, insight and understanding that will assist sufferers and their family and friends alike.
