Hopey McResearch: Miles of Smiles
Hopey visits to your School, Community Group, Organisation or Event
Meet Hopey McResearch
Hopey McResearch joined Hope Against Cancer in April 2026 and has swiftly become an enchanting member of the team!
His favourite thing is meeting people, making them smile, sparking awareness of the wonderful cancer research and care happening right here in Leicestershire and Rutland, dancing and having his photo taken!
Miles of Smiles
Hopey would like to encourage young people to support Hope Against Cancer through his Miles of Smiles campaign.
This campaign is designed to encourage young people to run, hop, skip, jump or walk a short, sponsored distance for local cancer research and care.
Hopey will be there, dancing, encouraging, sparking joy and looking fantastic in photographs!
