One in two of us will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in our lives. At The University of Manchester, theyre tackling the disease from all angles - from developing novel new treatments to finding ways to detect cancer earlier.

But in 2017, this life-saving research suffered a major setback. Manchesters cancer research centre was destroyed in a devastating fire. Hundreds of researchers were displaced to temporary labs across the region.

Today, I am helping create a brand new cancer centre thats bigger and better than before. It will be a world-leading cancer centre twice the size of the old Paterson building. It will contain one of the largest concentrations of doctors, nurses and researchers in Europe. And it will pave the way for amazing discoveries that save lives around the world.

You can help too. Together we can make discoveries that will re-write the future and save countless lives. Please give now, and help create a world where many more people survive cancer.
