The band are raising money for Stand Up To Cancer

Published 1st Aug 2014

One Direction have launched an ultimate fan competition to fly to Miami to meet the band backstage on the final night of the Where We Are Tour.

The world’s biggest boyband have joined forces with Stand Up To Cancer, a joint national fundraising campaign from Cancer Research UK and Channel 4, raising funds to accelerate new cancer treatments to patients and save lives.

For one lucky winner and a guest the incredible prize includes return flights to Miami from anywhere in the world, accommodation, tickets to the show 5th October and a meet & greet backstage.

And that’s not all. The lucky winner will also go home with a smorgasbord of merchandise signed by Liam, Louis, Zayn, Harry and Niall.

To enter, fans can go to www.prizeo.com/onedirection and donate £5, which will go towards vital research into cancer. All entrants will be entered into the ultimate prize draw.

The boys have shared this video to explain why they’re taking part:

Claire Rowney, director of Stand Up To Cancer UK, said: “This is an incredible prize that One Direction have given and we’re so grateful to them for their support.

“We’ve made amazing progress against cancer in the past few decades but more than one in three of us in the UK will develop cancer in our lifetime so we can’t afford to stand still.

“Cancer is a complex disease – there are more than 200 types and thousands of subtypes, which is why funding more research is imperative to be able to find a cure.”
