Great North Swim

Making a real difference to cancer patients, both now and in the future.

The Christie Hospital are experts in cancer care and research, based in the North West. The Christie charity provides services, facilities and equipment over and above what can be provided from NHS funding for the benefit of patients, together with world-reaching research into treatments helping to improve cancer survival rates for all.

This is a common concern but once you get signed up and start fundraising the team at The Christie will have plenty of tips for reaching (and smashing!) the target. If you think you're going to struggle, the best thing to do is have a chat with them as each charity has its own approach.

Care and support through terminal illness.

Marie Curie provides around the clock support to people in the UK living with a terminal illness.  Either in people's homes or in their hospices, nurses help patients achieve the best quality of life possible, managing pain and providing emotional support to the whole family.

Funds you raise can help them reach more people, £20 could pay for one hour or £180 could provide nine hours of nursing support through the night, for someone in the comfort of their own home bringing the expert care and comfort families need.

Dedicated support for young people aged 13 to 24 diagnosed with cancer.

Every day in the UK around seven young people are diagnosed with cancer aged 13 to 24.  Teenage Cancer Trust provides specialised support and expert treatment needed but they can currently only help half of those diagnosed.

Help them do more and reach more young people where just £60 raised could fund 2 hours care and support from an expert nurse.
