One Direction

One Direction are offering fans a chance to fly to Miami to meet the band at the final gig of their world tour.

Fans can enter the competition, external by donating £5 towards Stand Up To Cancer, a joint fundraising campaign by Cancer Research and Channel 4.

The prize includes return flights to Miami, accommodation, tickets to the final show of the Where We Are tour and a chance to meet the band on 5 October.

The winner will also get signed merchandise.

Liam Payne said: "Stand Up To Cancer is an amazing initiative that we've been working with for a little while now.

"We wanted to offer this amazing trip to Miami as a really special prize that we hope will help raise funds for such important research.

"We would love our fans to give whatever they can to this incredible cause."

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."
