In November 2017 Rich Prescott’s partner Matt was diagnosed with incurable blood cancer. Having just adopted two children this was devastating news. They came to The Christie for a second opinion and Matt began treatment in December 2017.

“On walking through the doors I was taken aback by the place – the sheer number of people coming into this building to have treatment, to give care to people or to hold someone’s hand.” On one visit to The Christie, Rich saw the advert for The Christie Tower Run and decided to take on the challenge.

“I remember saying to the kids, ‘Daddy’s going to do this!” Following quite a bit of training and with the amazing encouragement, generous donations and support of my kids, friends and family, I’ve now completed this challenge twice! The great thing for me as a fundraiser is that The Christie is clearly a place that never stands still, and the money donated is put to such good use, in research, on enhancing facilities and delivering projects for all those affected by cancer.”
