SINGING LEGEND SHOWS SUPPORT FOR CHARITY M.V. MOBILITY Legendary singer Tony Christie paid a special visit to Sheffield’s Weston Park Hospital to support a friend’s fundraising drive for the hospital’s cancer charity. Tony who is celebrating his 50th year in showbusiness delighted patients and staff when he took a break from his hectic performing schedule, to lend his star power to Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity. The Conisbrough-born singer was supporting his friend of more than 50 years, Jim Beachill , aged 67, from Conisbrough who was doing a presentation at the hospital, with grandchildren Jack, 14,
and Elishia, 12, about their trek to the Great Wall of China for the Cancer Charity. Tony, who is a patron of the Cancer Charity, said: “I’m really pleased to be visiting Weston Park Hospital and supporting Jim’s hard work for the charity. “The Cancer Charity does fantastic work to help families affected by cancer, by supporting research and treatment at the hospital and I’d encourage everything to support the cause.” Jim, Elishia and Jack’s trek raised £20,000 in sponsorship with a donation to be made to the Cancer Charity once all the cash has been collected.
Jim said: “We enjoyed the trek which was part of my ‘bucket list’ – it’s a list of things I want to do before I kick the bucket! “ The intrepid trio have previously raised funds for the charity by tackled an 80 mile walk along the length of Hadrian’s Wall in 2009. Rachel Thorpe, director of Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity said: “It’s fantastic to have such great support from Jim and from Tony. It was a lovely day, patients and staff enjoyed meeting Tony and hearing Jim’s presentation too.” The Cancer Charity exists to support the work of Weston Park Hospital, one of just
four specialist cancer hospitals in England. The Cancer Charity needs to raise as much as £1.3 million a year to continue funding cancer support services, and research at the Sheffieldbased hospital. Patients from across the North Trent region, which covers South
Yorkshire, North Derbyshire, North Nottinghamshire and North Lincolnshire, are treated under the guidance of experts from Weston Park Hospital in Sheffield. To find out more visit www. wphcancercharity. org.uk
