Malignant Melanoma Research Fund - Factor 50 Fundraisers

Welcome to our website. We hope you will find the site useful and spend time browsing the various areas. The Factor 50 Fundraising Group was born in the Autumn of 2007.

Gill Nuttall  had a friend with Malignant Melanoma, (a form of skin cancer) and having seen the struggle he faced, she wanted to try and help create some awareness of the disease, and also raise some much needed funds.  We are in close contact with the research team at the Christie Hospital and they provide us with updates in relation to the work they are carrying out into research surrounding Malignant Melanoma.

We are delighted to announce that SCOTT WRIGHT  Coronation Street's "Sam the Stripper" has joined forces with Factor 50 and is putting his weight behind our campaign.    Scott recently attended Factor 50's first black tie event at the Lowry and was very impressed with the behind scenes efforts from the team.   A keen supporter of local charities, when we asked Scott if he would become involved with us, it wasn't a hard decision.   Scott said "Having seen the work that these guys are doing for The Christie, it was very easy for me to say yes when asked for help.   Factor 50 has grown tremendously in the last year and I am very proud to be able to help them out"

Scott's first appearance for us takes place on 28 June 2009 at The Amber Lounge/Rififi Stalybridge.  "An Evening With...."   Scott will be joined by Dirty Weekend,  Shobna Gulati - Coronation St/Dinner Ladies,  Lee Otway - Bombhead in Hollyoaks/Love Island,  Ian Aspinall - Holby City/East is East, Luke Bailey - Waterloo Rd/Casualty.  Tickets £10 - call Gill Nuttall on 07930375360 for further information.

We are absolutely delighted to have Scott as one of our patrons.

There are various fundraising events going on throughout the coming months and each individual/group has their own page. Please log on to their pages, have a look at the great efforts that are being made and if you are sponsoring them, follow the links to the online donations. 

We hope that through our efforts we can make a difference to people suffering from Malignant Melanoma, raise awareness of the importance of skin care and protection in the sun.

We are often approached by friends and family of malignant melanoma patients asking if they can help.   We appreciate all efforts, no matter how small.  Visit the news section for more information.
