Story

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.  It was the Maggie’s Manchester Culture Crawl on Friday 30th September and it was a fantastic event!

We started our 10k walk at 6.30pm from Maggie's Manchester (by The Christie Hospital) and followed a route that included an Indian arts centre in Rusholme where we received delicious veggie food and a saw a Bollywood dancing display; Whitworth Art Gallery where we became amateur artists in a life class; the RNCM where we saw a concert performed by the Vandepeer quartet; a tour of the London Road fire station and finally the end of the line at Chetham's where we explored the library and displays of historical books.

It was a brilliantly organised event and we received a fantastic welcome at every venue, as well as a great reception from people passing in the street who boosted offline donations. 

We’ve raised over £600 so far, which is enough to pay for a Cancer Support Specialist to provide immediate advice and support for people visiting the Centre. But we’d love to be able to do more!

  • £15 pays for one person to attend a nutrition workshop, exploring different food and providing inspiring recipes to help them eat well and feel better during cancer treatment.
  • £50 pays for an exercise class for up to 10 people to help build strength and confidence during cancer treatment and afterwards.
  • £100 pays for a two-hour Managing Stress session for up to 10 people, exploring ways to relax and find calmness in day to day life when dealing with the challenges of cancer.

Thank you so much for any support you are able to give.
