'The Christie’s reputation made it an easy decision'

David Battersby from Accrington is gearing up to participate in the Windermere Marathon on Saturday to raise funds for The Christie Charity. David, who now lives in South Cumbria, has a connection to The Christie since 2005 when he was diagnosed with refractory Acute Myeloid Leukaemia – a type of blood cancer that starts from young white blood cells in the bone marrow – and had the option of being treated there.

“The chances of my making a long-term recovery were very small but as the days, months and eventually years went by, with the amazing care and help and guidance of everyone on the haematology unit, I am still here and living a full life!” “It’s also easy to get to and that it’s on a date that I can do without it affecting my music concerts and work commitments.
