Why bother finding out more about cancer? Because over 2 million people in the UK have been diagnosed with cancer, so a lot of children and young people will know someone affected by it.

'Macmillan's Big Sports Day is a fabulous way for young people to get fit and have lots of fun, while making money for Macmillan Cancer Support. Having trekked through jungles, rowed the Atlantic and crossed Antartica on foot, I know what it's like to rise to the challenge. So I really want to encourage all schools to set themselves their own challenge and sign up.' Ben Fogle, Macmillan Ambassador
