Two Races. One Mission: Running for The Christie Charity 2026

About the Challenge

I’m Adrian, and in 2026, I’m taking on three major races to raise vital funds for The Christie Charity. Each event is a milestone in a year dedicated to honouring those affected by cancer and supporting world‑class treatment and research.

Here’s the journey ahead:

- Fylde Coast Half Marathon – 15th February 2026

- AJ Bell Great Manchester Run 10K – 31st May 2026

Every mile I run is a tribute to the strength of patients and families facing cancer. Every pound raised fuels life‑changing care and groundbreaking research at The Christie.

About The Christie Charity

The Christie is one of Europe’s largest and most advanced cancer centres, treating over 60,000 patients each year. Donations directly support:

- Cutting‑edge research into new therapies and precision medicine

- Advanced clinical trials in immunotherapy, targeted treatments, and early detection

- State‑of‑the‑art equipment, including radiotherapy and proton beam therapy

- Holistic patient services such as counselling, physiotherapy, and complementary therapies

- Support for families through accommodation, transport grants, and wellbeing programmes

Your generosity helps ensure every patient receives the best possible care and the hope of a brighter future.

My Fundraising Goal

I’m aiming to raise £3,000 by August 2026. Here’s how your donation makes a real difference:

- **£25** funds a counselling session for patients or families

- **£75** supports one hour of personalised cancer research

- **£150** contributes to life‑saving imaging equipment that detects tumours earlier

Any amount you give brings us closer to breakthroughs that transform lives.
