During his illness, Lee would immerse himself in creating and producing music, or a piece of artwork, as a distraction. Linda Wyatt, Future Perfect founder, event and project manager, said: “Future Perfect is a community project that encourages the use of art and music therapy to support people through cancer treatment and the emotional side effects it brings to both patients and their families. We organise large and small scale events around comedy, music and art in support of The Christie. We believe that music and art heals the heart.” Over the years, Future Perfect has organised a range of fundraising events for The Christie. Whether it’s skydives, bungee jumps or dance offs, this inspirational group has done it all. Last year, the Future Perfect Comedy Night with Russell Howard and Friends at Manchester Academy 1 kick-started the Sonder Festival 2018 with over 200 bands, artists, poets and comedians performing in venues across Manchester over five days. These fantastic events helped Future Perfect to raise yet another £10,000 in support of the art and music therapy services.
