Story

Cal lived a full life until cancer took him from us aged 19. He had two bits of unfinished business. He had enrolled on a Charity Trek to climb Kilimanjaro and also wanted to raise £100,000 for TCT. 

Cal started 'Made From Manchester' and was well on his way to raising £100k. Your amazing fundraising efforts has now achieved that for Cal. As you all know Cal wasnt one to rest so we feel the first thing he would say at reaching 100k is LETS AIM FOR 200K...! You all know what happened when he took that 'double or nothing' philosophy to the Monaco Casino!

His brothers have vowed to carry his ashes to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro and so his mates and parents have signed up too and we are calling it the Calimanjaro Challenge. So many of you have done, and are doing, amazing fundraising initiatives in Cals name and it has not gone unnoticed by Teenage Cancer Trust. They feel it right that your money is spent in Manchester and they are making plans as to how to best benefit other young people with cancer in Manchester. Lets give them £200,000 to make a huge difference!

Please feel free to make a donation, support the cause through your own charity initiative or simply buy a tee shirt from MadeFromManchester.com.
