The Old Castle Lodge in Macclesfield raised £800 for The Christie at Macclesfield appeal recently with a summer barbeque.
Around 100 tickets were sold for the event hosted by lodge member Norman Bebington and his wife Bronwyn at their home in North Rode, Congleton. For each ticket sold, £3 was donated to The Christie at Macclesfield appeal to bring care closer to home for cancer patients in Macclesfield and the surrounding areas. A raffle was also held and donations were made on the day.
Several members of the lodge and their wives have been touched by cancer recently and treated at The Christie. Norman Bebington, who hosted the barbeque, is currently going through treatment for prostate cancer and the wife of a lodge member, Bev Currie, is also being treated at The Christie.
Bev was originally diagnosed with cancer around six years ago and has had to rely on public transport to get to the Christie hospital, for majority if that time.
She commented: “Being able to have treatment closer to home in Macclesfield, would be a great benefit to many people. Old Castle Lodge is very keen to support The Christie at Macclesfield project so that others do not have to go through the same experience.”
