Thank you to everyone who has signed up for our skipping fundraising challenge! ➰

Our big tip is to use your wrists. Spin the rope with your wrists and forearms rather than making big circles with your entire arms. 🙌

2. 75 minutes a week (or 11 minutes a day) of vigorous-intensity activity such as jogging or a workout.
3. A combination of moderate and vigorous activities.

Paris 2016 ➡️ Hong Kong, 2026

Ten years ago, WCRF International was sharing cancer prevention research at the World Cancer Congress in Paris. This September, we’re taking our work to the global stage once again, this time in Hong Kong!

Our researchers will be sharing important new work on how we can help prevent cancer throughout our lives.

Taking part in events like the World Cancer Congress means WCRF’s research can reach the researchers, policymakers and health professionals who can help put it into practice.
