Our Community Volunteers – Christine Sanderson
C
hristine Sanderson has an excellent reason to volunteer for the Mary How Trust for Cancer Prevention – without them, she wouldn’t still be here. Eleven years ago she was feeling very tired and unwell, but visits to her doctor had not identified the underlying cause. As her health deteriorated she decided to have a Mary How health screening which set her on the path to a speedy diagnosis of leukaemia. When she was admitted to hospital she was told that they were surprised that she was still able to walk based on the blood tests they took. Following hospital treatment which included a stem cell transplant she has now made a complete recovery, but understandably credits Mary How with saving her life. Christine, whose career has included banking and various administrative and financial roles in schools, started doing voluntary work for Macmillan at St Richard’s in Chichester where she arranged ‘Look Good Feel Better’ workshops for women who had undergone treatment for cancer. Although she is still involved with this she has shifted her focus for the past eighteen months to working in the Mary How charity shop in
Billingshurst, which is closer to her home and family. Apart from the obvious connection with her health, she is also delighted to support a small charity which is able to allocate a high proportion of the money it raises to its aims, principally funding the shortfall between the cost of the screening tests and the amount that people are able to afford to pay as a donation towards them. A self-confessed ‘doer’ and a people-person, she also enjoys the contact with the public and the chance to get stuck in with all aspects of the shop. The Mary How Trust was set up following the early death from cancer of its namesake, and is a local charity based in Pulborough. It aims to make health screening available to all to provide an early warning of serious illness.
