Hey everyone,

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Myself and Lewis will be running the Manchester Half Marathon in support of two wonderful charities East Cheshire Hospice, Macclesfield (charity number 515104) & The Christie Charity, Macclesfield & Manchester (charity number 1201654).

East Cheshire Hospice provides compassionate, specialist care for people facing life-limiting illnesses, supporting not only patients but also their families and loved ones. Their work goes beyond medical care – they offer emotional, psychological, and practical support to help people live with dignity and comfort during the most challenging times.

The Christie Charity supports The Christie NHS Foundation Trust – the UK’s largest single-site cancer centre – by funding vital services that go beyond what the NHS can provide.

I’m sure most people reading this know someone who has received treatment and care at The Christie or has been cared for by hospice and understand how amazing that each charity really is!

Mainly we are running this for our friend Emily who has received treatment from The Christie and is currently in East Cheshire Hospice's care. Emily has shown incredible strength throughout her journey, and the care and support from both charities are vital in helping people and families through times like these. We want to raise funds for these amazing charities to help them continue their life-changing work.
