Join us on Thursday 14 November 2024 as Marc Yaffe and Sandy Arora will be playing padel for 12-hours to raise money for Cure Leukaemia.

How can you help?

We are seeking opponents to come down and challenge Marc and Sammy over the course of the day by pledging to play. Time slots are available over the 12-hour period, so please let us know your preferred time to play and we will do our best to accommodate.

Don’t worry if you don’t play any support on the day is very much welcome. Pure Padel have a mezzanine level overlooking court 1, which is the show court with refreshments available from their inhouse café.

Watch out for further announcements in the coming days announcing some very special guests who will be appearing in exhibition matches plus the chance to pledge to play with some of the North West’s leading sporting and TV personalities.

About Cure Leukaemia

Cure Leukaemia was established in 2003 by Professor Charlie Craddock CBE, to allow patients with blood cancer access to remarkably effective new treatments which were then becoming available.

Since then, Cure Leukaemia has been able to expand to a national network and are now able to offer potential life-saving treatment to patients across the UK, including at The Christie and Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.

All funds raised through the 12-hour padelathon will go directly to Professor Rob Wynn from Manchester Children’s Hospital, enabling his team to bring hope to children with blood cancer.

Professor Wynn explained, “A huge thank you to everyone participating in the 12-hour padelathon at Pure Padel. Thanks to the funds raised throughout the day, we are not only increasing the survival rates of children diagnosed with blood cancer but also improving their quality of life during and after treatment. This is about giving children access to the best possible care and giving families hope.”
