Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The Christie has been pioneering cancer research breakthroughs for over 100 years and is the largest cancer centre in Europe. Treating more than 40,000 patients each year, we were the first UK centre to be officially accredited as a comprehensive cancer centre. Based in Manchester, with radiotherapy centres in Oldham and Salford, we are a national specialist treating 25% of patients from around the country.

Through the impassioned dedication of our 2,500 staff, 350 volunteers and 20,000 members and supporters, we remain committed to helping all those affected by cancer, both now and in the future.

The Christie are extremely close to my heart as they have helped several of my friends and family with their personal battles with cancer.
