In the charity's own words
We are a military founded, driven charity with extremely high standards. We provide grants to Military/Ministry of Defence personnel, past and present, including their immediate families who are suffering the effects of cancer. Military vs Cancer cannot stop cancer, we cannot control or alter its path but what we can do is step in and simplify the process to ease the pain of the families involved.
