I am raising money for The Christie Cancer Charity in memory of my mum, Florence. The Christie Hospital in Manchester looked after my mum before she died in 2011 from ovarian cancer, at the age of 62.

I'm sure everyone who reads this will have had their lives touched by cancer, in some way. Let's support the Christie in its research to detect cancers earlier and find more effective treatments.

Every donation to The Christie Charity helps make a real difference. Your support funds life-changing research, world-class treatment, and compassionate care for cancer patients and their families.
