Fundraiser stories

“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.”

“You know, without the donations, then you wouldn’t be able to pursue the trials, and try and get new medication to help people with cancer.”

"The earlier you catch [Ewing Sarcoma] and the earlier you start treatment, the more beneficial it’s going to be for the patient.”

"The Ewing Sarcoma patients that I’ve nursed are some of the most resilient and positive patients I’ve ever come across... but a new blood test for Ewing Sarcoma would lift the spirits of our patients and their families even more.”
