Housebuilders behind Lavender Fields in the Macclesfield parish of Langley have raise a large amount for charity.
Greater Manchester company Seddon Homes have just passed the one million milestone in monies raised The Christie since 1997.
The target was met just weeks before the one year anniversary of The Christie Macclesfield.
The Seddon family knows all too well how vital the work of The Christie is, with 2 family members receiving treatment at the specialist cancer hospital. The late Christopher Seddon (MBE) was treated at The Christie for lung cancer from 2013 to 2015. In 2019, his daughter, Nicola Hodkinson, was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Nicola, director and owner at Seddon, began her treatment at The Christie in February 2019 and, over 7 months, underwent chemotherapy and targeted therapy, followed by surgery and further radiotherapy. In September of that same year, she was declared cancer-free. For Nicola, Seddon reaching the £1m figure is a testament to the community Seddon has built.
She said: "This is our culture; this is who we are. We're a sociable organisation, so to come together to reconnect with each other after a difficult few years has been nothing short of inspirational. Together, we've walked across hot coals, jumped out of planes and climbed mountains. Every individual effort means so much to Seddon and shows one million ways to say thank you to The Christie for the life-changing work it does and to our local communities too."
She continued: "Few contractors have the heritage that we do; 125 years of business is something to be immensely proud of. As a family-run business that knows all too well of the impact cancer can have on our lives, we are proud to support them in every way that we can."
Seddon pledged on World Cancer Day 2021 to donate £250 for every new house it sold nationwide under its Seddon Homes brand. Around £75,000 has been raised this way so far towards The Christie at Macclesfield cancer centre, which opened to patients in December 2021. This incredible fundraising drive will continue until the end of 2022.
