My story

 

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor your chosen team member online, being sure to input the team member's name into the comments section after your donation.

This is the fifth year that we have organised the 'Annual Sponsored Challenge' with the previous years events being the 3 Yorkshire Peaks, the Sandstone Trail and various sections of the Trans-Pennine Trail which have raised £4,000, £6,308, £12,095 and £19,056 respectively for Christies Hospital which specialises in the treatment of Cancer.  (The adjacent photograph is the team presenting a cheque to Christie's Hospital after last year's challenge)

This year over 30 of us, mainly from Altrincham Kersal RFC will be cycling either 40 or 80 miles of the Trans-Pennine Trail in a day from Altrincham to near Pennistone in Yorkshire and back on 30th June to raise money for Christies Hospital. The target this year is to raise in excess of the £20,000 which will go towards a New Chemotherapy Delivery Unit, but we will need your help to do that.

In 2000/1 the Christie Hospital treated 75,300 outpatients which had risen by 26% in 2002/3 to 95,200.  This trend is placing demands on the hospital's facilities that it is struggling to meet.  At present there can be problems if patients need to stay over night because there are no seperate bed and bathroom areas for men and women.  To exacerbate the problem, the current ward is treating 60-70 patients per day but there is only really room for 40.

The New Chemotherapy Delivery Unit will comprise of a reception area and waiting room, a number of clinical and consulting rooms, a treatment area with both treatment chairs and beds, a drug preparation pharmacy and an 8 bed overnight stay annexe with seperate male and female facilities.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor your chosen team member: Christie's against Cancer will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor your team member now.

Many thanks for your support.
