Fundraiser stories

“The Christie is an amazing charity providing lifesaving care for very sick patients. You never think it will happen to you or your family and without the help and generosity of people, many people wouldn't be given the chance of survival they deserve.”

“I did the questionnaire from the very beginning of my treatment. It’s great to know the doctors see them before your appointment, so they know what’s going on at that very moment.”

"The treatment I received from the Christie was amazing, I had a 5-day course of radiotherapy and the staff were fantastic, very caring and supportive throughout. They made me feel better, even on the tough days, I'd just like to say thank you to them."

“Breast cancer is biased towards women, and it would be great to put young women first and give something back to young women to help them at a particularly tough time.”

“Young women of a certain age shouldn't be going through what Sarah went through… Research is essential for us to change anything.”

“It is important that people get behind this campaign as good intentions and a skilled medical and research team aren’t going to make the study happen.”

“I’m hoping to take on more fundraising soon, I’m still on the clinical trial but feeling really well.”

“It would have been great to have had more time so I could have had more flexibility with a career I loved. It would have also been great to spend more time with family and things I love doing.”

“Everybody will be or has been affected by cancer at least one point in their life, be it directly or indirectly, so let’s help The Christie keep fighting the good fight."
