Alsager Friends of the Christie

Alsager Friends of Christie Raise over £1000 at Civic Fayre

The Alsager Friends of The Christie raised over £1000 at their Alsager Civic Fayre recently supported by Fiona Bruce MP.
Fiona Bruce said “Barely a family in the land is unaffected by Cancer, which is why the work of Christie’s Hospital in Manchester is so critical and that of the Alsager Friends Group so important. There are, for example, an estimated over half a million people living with breast cancer in the UK and a further 50,000 women and 400 men diagnosed each year.
At Christie’s centre of excellence innovative world class research is undertaken to understand how cancer develops aiming for improved diagnosis, treatment, prevention and cure. Congratulations to everyone involved in Alsager Friends of Christie’s, not only for raising a four figure sum on this occasion but also for their continuing work throughout the year.”
 The next event will be on Saturday October 26th and will be the ‘Early Bird Christmas Fair’ at Alsager Civic Centre from 9.30am to 1pm!
