MAKING THE HEADLINES As always the work of our staff, patients, volunteers and fundraisers has received lots of media attention over the last few months.

Max power We received extensive coverage in November when Manchester United player Max Taylor had his first team debut. Max was treated at The Christie in 2018 for testicular cancer and recently returned to meet patients in our proton beam therapy unit.

Proud of Brenda Brenda Walker, one of our charity fundraisers was been nominated for the Pride of Britain Awards this year and featured on Granada Reports during October. She has played the keyboards in Bury and Rochdale town centres for over 20 years raising money for our charity. Brenda was also one of the faces of The Christie in the charity awareness campaign that ran just before Christmas .

Christie clinical trials focus BBC North West Tonight featured a week of stories about clinical trials at The Christie during December. The emotional films followed prostate cancer patient, Dave Kearney, who is currently on an early phase trial led by Dr Matt Krebs and the ECMT team.
