Around The World in 80 Raves
More than one in three people will be affected by cancer at some point in their lives and one in four people will die from the disease. But thanks to progress in the field of cancer research, more people are surviving the diagnosis of cancer than ever before.
Cancer Research UK is the world’s leading charity dedicated to research the causes, treatment and prevention of cancer. Together with our partners and supporters, Cancer Research UK’s vision is to beat cancer with our key objectives outlined below:
• Cancer Research UK carries out world-class research to improve understanding of the disease and find out how to prevent, diagnose and treat different kinds of cancer.
• Cancer Research UK ensures that its findings are used to improve the lives of all cancer patients.
• Cancer Research UK helps people to understand cancer, the progress that is being made and the choices each person can make.
• Cancer Research UK works in partnership with others to achieve the greatest impact in the global fight against cancer.

The crew for each event will consist of the DJs, dancers, percussionists and tour managers with the brands creative visuals and backdrops.
The concept will also be filmed for a documentary which will show our crew in action on tour, all the while, not forgetting its in aid of “Cancer Research UK”
All the events will be listed and promoted via all aspects of media for each territory, radio, magazines and TV, aswell as running competitions for lucky candidates to come on tour with our crew.
