Fundraiser stories

“[The Christie] have done some amazing work with my dad, helped him through the tough times and picked him up. We couldn’t thank them enough as he wouldn’t be here right now without them.”

“I am running for The Christie Charity so other young people can receive the support and care they need during the most difficult time in their young lives.”

“I have signed up for the sky dive for The Christie! They have been a huge part of my family’s life over the last few years, so I wanted to give something back to them.”

“For myself, the reason for doing the Festive Dash was to help raise money to support the fabulous work that The Christie does.”

“Living with Addison’s Disease hasn’t been the easiest at times, but the staff at The Christie have helped me immensely to live with it.”

“I've thought about doing a skydive before, but previously thought I'd be too scared to freefall from a plane… This cause is close to my heart because my friend is receiving treatment at The Christie.”

“I started fundraising because I felt a duty to give something back for the treatment and care I was receiving.”

“Along with some very close friends, we agreed that we wanted to give back to The Christie and in turn help others access the best treatment. The Manchester 10k was the ideal as none of us are, were or will ever be runners, so a great challenge.”

“There are things that I have learnt from the last Trek the Alps - I will certainly be more prepared mentally for this challenge. It is tough but rewarding - you will be with a team of people that support you... above all, you will raise lots of money for this much needed charity.”
