FUNDRAISERS…Contractor Seddon has pledged to raise £175,000 towards the construction of the Christie’s £26m cancer centre at Macclesfield District Hospital. A long-time supporter of the Christie, Seddon will donate £250 for every house it sells under its Seddon Homes brand from now until the end of 2022, a period during which the company anticipates selling 700 homes. Nicola Hodkinson, director at Seddon and former Christie patient, said: “You really only get a sense of the Christie when you walk through the front door. It is not a normal hospital; it doesn’t feel or smell like one. It’s unique and that uniqueness comes from its values and the Christie teams who dedicate every day to making a patient’s cancer a bit more bearable.” Nicola began her treatment at the Christie in February 2019, and over a seven-month period underwent chemotherapy and targeted therapy, followed by surgery and further radiotherapy. She was declared cancer-free in September that same year.
