Chaophraya fundraising like no other

In May 2022, a close friend of Chaophraya's was diagnosed unexpectedly with a rare and aggressive form of cancer. Having a rare cancer is especially challenging as less is known about how to treat the cancer and support the patient. We were determined to show our support and try to help in whichever way we could. That’s where the incredible Christie hospital comes in, the largest single site cancer centre in Europe, who work hard to prioritise all cancers and all patients. With our help, we can make sure The Christie continue their vital work for cancer patients, both in terms of support and finding novel ways to treat patients. The money raised goes towards funding services and projects at The Christie including vital research. 

So, we set challenge to complete the Yorkshire Three Peaks (with lack of training we must admit...). Over forty of us ascended over 1,700 metres in this incredible one-day trek challenge! Our Thai Leisure Group team came together with family and friends alongside the teams at Zenko Properties and Ashleigh Signs to climb the 24.5 miles of the Yorkshire Three Peaks in what we can only describe as one of the wettest days of the year which made it all the more challenging, but worth it.

We visited The Christie hospital in Manchester in December 2022, after our trek, to meet their wonderful team and see more of the work they do in supporting vital services and research.

Thank you to all who supported, either throughout the challenge or by donating and raising money. This initiative has made a huge impact to The Christie funds and we hope to support further in 2023.
