About the National Events Committee
The National Events Committee (NEC) organises high profile events to increase awareness of the work Cancer Research UK does to accelerate progress and see three-quarters of patients survive the disease within the next 20 years.
It was formed by Jennifer d’Abo in 1993 at the instigation of the then President of Imperial Cancer Research Fund.
Members come from a wide variety of interests and networks to contribute by organising individual fundraising events, procuring sponsorship and gaining publicity for Cancer Research UK. Over the years, the portfolio has included an eclectic range of events and projects, some annual and some individual.
