Desmoplastic
Small Round Cell
Tumor Charity
Finding more effective treatments for Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumour has never been more urgent. As survival rates for other cancers have risen over the last 20 years, those for DSRCT have remained static.
Despite affecting young people, who have typically previously been healthy, five year survival rates remain at just 15%. There is currently no global standard of care; no treatment that has proven to be universally effective. Although chemotherapy often works in the beginning, the cancer typically grows resistant quickly.
We need your help to change this!
We welcome individuals, families and companies running fundraising events. If you would like to hold a fundraiser for Capture please do let us know so that we can share it with our social media following and help you get people through the door.
Help us raise awareness of DSRCT by bringing out the bling. Wear tinsel round your neck, your best sparkly earrings or a glittery top – the choice is yours. Join with work colleagues, get together as a school or make a pact with friends. Donate £1 to Capture, but most importantly spread the word by telling everyone just why you sparkle!
Our annual 24 hour Splash and Stitch event is fun for the whole family. Whether you join us in Hampsthwaite to swim or stitch, or take place remotely either individually or with friends and family – this is an event that will guarantee laughter, lots of cake and an opportunity to try the famous Otter Stitching (knitting whilst simultaneously swimming). Join in for an hour or for 24 – whether you can swim, stitch or want to learn – this is the event for you!
Join us on August the 30th 2026 in Kettlesing for our annual family festival. With local bands, inflatables, delicious food and fun for all ages – we can’t wait to see you there.
