Black Women Rising is the award winning programme from UK registered charity The Leanne Pero Foundation. We support women of colour through every step of their cancer diagnosis and support efforts to educate, raise awareness, and influence policy that aims to provide equitable and accessible cancer care for women of colour in the UK.
On March 7th 2026, to celebrate BWR’s 7th birthday, we’re inviting 100 women to walk, step, and stride a 5K route in Fryent Country Park, London, each aiming to raise £200 to continue helping fund our mission.
Despite advances in cancer care, women of colour continue to face significant disparities in diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes. Together, we must keep raising awareness and pushing for much-needed change.
Funds raised from the Together We Rise 5K will directly support our work, ensuring women of colour receive the cancer care they deserve.
Registration is £50 and includes a fundraising kit containing both digital and physical fundraising resources and an exclusive Together We Rise t-shirt to wear on the trek!
