A man from Marple Bridge has been recognised for his remarkable spirit and generosity.

Nigel Chadwick, a retired sub-postmaster, was singled out by the Christie Charity in their annual 'impact' report.

The report aims to celebrate those who have made the most exceptional and generous donations to The Christie, which researches and treats cancer.

Nigel himself was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukaemia in June 2023. Initially, he was given only weeks to live; but after 12 months of treatment at the Christie - under the care of Dr Mike Dennis and his team - he is now in remission.

In appreciation of the support he received, Nigel made a generous donation to the haematology unit. He has also pledged to continue supporting The Christie Charity.

Nigel said: "I was absolutely over the moon with the treatment I received – from the cleaners and bed-makers to the consultants and the people with the cannulas!

"I also appreciated everyone's kindness and their sense of humour.

"I had sterling care at the haematology unit when I was coming in for treatment. I didn't feel too brilliant but the positive attitude from everyone was so helpful. I got to know so many of the staff –

"I'm almost sorry not to be coming in anymore!"

A Christie spokesperson said: "Nigel's contribution to the haematology unit will be helping others receive the same outstanding care that he experienced and will help support advancing treatments and improving care for future Christie patients."
