The Isle of Man Anti-Cancer Association, a longstanding supporter of The Christie, is celebrating its 60 th anniversary this year. Since 1959 it has raised over £22 million towards cancer research and support for island residents affected by cancer.

The association provides funding for cancer care and research to a host of other organisations within the UK that treat residents of the Isle of Man. Many residents who require cancer treatment will receive at least part of their treatment in cancer centres such as The Christie. As part of their wide-ranging work, The Isle of Man Anti-Cancer Association has supported The Christie for over a decade, granting a phenomenal £386,000 over this period. Throughout this time funds have been directed to a variety of different areas within the hospital,

including the purchase of equipment for the developmental intervascular suite, as well as considerable support towards the Cancer Research Fund to help support pioneering research projects and clinical trials taking place here at The Christie. We would like to thank the committee and all the supporters of The Isle of Man Anti-Cancer Association for their enduring support and offer our sincerest congratulations on reaching a phenomenal 60 years supporting cancer care and research across the Isle of Man and beyond.

Geoff Clague, President; Malcolm Clague, Chairman; Richard Ellis, Treasurer, Mike King, Vice Chairman; Sandy Denning, Executive Officer.
