Fundraiser stories

“When I saw the opportunity to give something back to the truly amazing Christie then it was a no brainer… your amazing donations will help this amazing hospital.”

“The Christie has been amazing throughout. The nurses and doctors couldn't do enough… the work they do is invaluable. As a family, we cannot thank them enough.”

“Together, we were the absolute dream team, we encouraged each other and at times literally dragged each other round, we couldn’t have got through it alone.”

“Thank you from the depth of our hearts for your donation to our wonderful charity… We are part of a wider team that supports all these patients and loved ones to battle and hopefully one day eradicate this awful disease.”

“Whilst I don’t feel that we could ever thank The Christie enough for everything they have done, [we] feel very lucky to be able to raise money for this wonderful hospital by participating in the Great North Run.”

“The staff at the Christie were amazing. They were kind and supported and made me feel relaxed during the treatment.”

“I’m really looking forward to being able to take on the Zip Slide after COVID... I’m doing this in Elliot’s memory and for all those we have lost and those young adults and children suffering with all types of cancer."

“The Christie have given the most exceptional care to my friend’s mam over the last 2 years. I wanted to do something to ensure they can continue their amazing work.”

“This race isn’t for everyone, but for me it was the perfect channel for my grief and loss and my way to give back to The Christie.”

“We all work at The Christie, and we all get to see the great work that goes on there. It’s quite inspiring to see the effect it has on people, and on people we know as well.”

“[We] originally signed up to run the Manchester Marathon in April 2022 as we love a challenge… We have both had family members who have been diagnosed with cancer and so we have decided to raise money for The Christie in support of their battle against cancer.”

“It’s a huge thank you to The Christie for the fact that I’m even here to think about tackling The Grindleford Gallop... I could barely stagger by the end, so I picked a hard enough challenge!”
