I’m taking on the Purplewave challenge to support the Geoffrey Jefferson Brain Research Centre (the 'Jeff') at The University of Manchester.

The Jeff supports vital research into neurological conditions such as stroke, dementia, epilepsy and brain tumours and every pound I raise will make a real difference.

Purplewave brings together students, staff, alumni and the wider community to turn bold ideas into real-world impact. Your support will help fund projects that might not otherwise happen.

Every donation counts – big or small – and directly contributes to meaningful change.

Thank you for supporting me and helping make a lasting difference at Manchester – for the world.

Challenge Accepted.
