The event – called ‘50 50 50’ – aims to find 50 runners, or teams of runners, running 50 miles to raise £50,000 for The Christie Hospital’s School of Oncology in Manchester.

 

The event will take place in Macclesfield, Cheshire, and will see individual runners run a flat, scenic 50-mile point-to-point route. Teams of up to five can also share the 50-mile challenge and split the course into five 10-mile loops.

 

The Christie is one of Europe’s leading cancer centres and treats over 44,000 patients a year. The hospital serves a population of 3.2 million across Greater Manchester and Cheshire, and, as a national specialist, around 26% of patients are referred from areas across the UK and overseas.

 

The £50,000 the team hopes to raise will be donated to The Christie School of Oncology, which is the largest cancer research and treatment centre in Europe. It provides a teaching environment across all professions. However, the school now needs to expand to develop their education further over the next five years.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.
