I have decided to put my running shoes back on and run the Manchester Half Marathon and would massively appreciate any donations you may be able to make to go towards the amazing work The Christie Hospital does for people with cancer and their families.

The Christie is a place very close to mine and my family’s heart. Sadly many people very close to me have had to use the hospital and it’s incredible services. Obviously we all wish we didn’t need it, but we are so grateful we have it.

One of those people was my mum and this week is the anniversary of her death from breast cancer - she died 31 years ago at The Christie. So I will be running in her memory and for all those that have ever walked through those doors, and those that ever need to in the future. Thanks for your support. Tom
