Fundraiser stories

“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."

“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!”

“I am in awe of the research that The Christie does into cancer treatments and want to support it not only because it is a local cause to me, but because the effects of the research done there can be felt worldwide.”

“Being able to book my own on line blood test at my nearest bloods closer to home service at St Luke's in Winsford gives me even more control.”

“I would say to anyone who is in a position to donate to this, you’ll never know just how much of a difference you could make to other peoples. lives. So please help if you can.”
