I'm taking on the Purple Wave challenge 2023 to support Manchester's cancer research!

Fundraising for University of Manchester
£205
raised of £100 target
Event: Purple Wave 2023 in the Great Manchester Run, from 1 March 2023 to 21 May 2023
One in two of us will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in our lives. Here at Manchester, we're tackling the disease from all angles. Help us deliver life-saving research in Manchester's brand-new cancer research centre.

Story

This year I'll be putting on my training shoes and taking part in the Purple Wave, to support Manchester's cancer research. We all know someone whose life has been changed by cancer. That's why researchers in Manchester are working hard to improve how cancer is treated and help more patients with cancer get back to normal life. A brand new cancer centre will be opening soon. Designed to speed up research progress, it'll be a world-class centre bringing new hope to people with cancer. Amazing research will take place inside the new building, and by donating to my page today, you can be part of that. Cancer will affect one in two of us but with our help, Manchester can create a happier, healthier future for all. Please join me in supporting Manchester's cancer research by sponsoring me today!
