The Christie charity Impact Report 2021-22

Ewing Sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that occurs in bones or in the soft tissue around the bones which mainly affects children and young people. Thanks to Eric’s kind donation, we hope to have someone in post soon who will be able to take forward research into this rare cancer.

WHEN WE HEARD ABOUT THE PROJECT, THE ENTIRE FAMILY FELT AS THOUGH THE POST WAS A PERFECT FIT FOR OUR FATHER. HE WAS A STRONG BELIEVER IN RESEARCH. Christine

His daughter Christine explained: “When we heard about the project, the entire family felt as though the post was a perfect fit for our father. He was a strong believer in research. He also had a passion for innovation having been involved in the creation of the first ever ATM machine through his career with Barclays bank. “He spent his life supporting young children through his work with the Boys Brigade. We are all delighted that through his generous donation, he can continue supporting young patients and continue to help The Christie advance cancer research.”
