Overview
The Richard Dimbleby Cancer Fund is a charity founded in the memory of Richard Dimbleby, a British journalist and broadcaster, who died in 1965 aged only fifty two from lung cancer. Before his funeral, his family requested well-wishers to make donations to the new fund rather than sending flowers. In particular, the charity funds cancer research at the Richard Dimbleby Laboratories at St Thomas' Hospital in London, which opened in 1968.
A separate fund, Dimbleby Cancer Care, was established in 2005 to support cancer patients and their families.
