Panthera’s team of 23 employees, which was drawn from its clinical research clinics in Preston, Rochdale, Sheffield, Enfield and Glasgow, had a variety of reasons for deciding to take part in the event:
Morgan Brown from Panthera’s Preston site explains “After my grandad was diagnosed with a rare type of blood cancer late last year, raising money for such a good cause is really important to me. Cancer Research UK is a charity that raises money for a cause that is very close to my heart and being able to take part and help, even just a tiny bit, is amazing”.
Anna Bila from Panthera’s head office in Preston explains “For me, taking part in the Race for Life is about joining a community of people united for a powerful cause, supporting Cancer Research UK. Completing the race, no matter the time, will give me a real sense of achievement, knowing I've contributed to something meaningful”.
Stuart Young, CEO of Panthera “We are incredibly proud of our team for participating in Race for Life Manchester for the second year running, showing their unwavering commitment to supporting the fight against cancer. Their dedication is truly inspiring. As a company we are dedicated to advancing medical research across all therapeutic areas and have extensive experience in oncology clinical trials, we remain steadfast in our mission to improve the lives of those affected by cancer — today and for generations to come.”
