Opportunity to Fundraise 

The Purple Wave is made up of a series of events, of which you can join any number throughout the year from one, to all of them. You will be able to purchase a Purple Wave T-shirt to be part of the event, and there’s an option to use our Purple Wave events to raise vital funds for cancer research here at Manchester. And if you choose to register as a Purple Wave fundraiser, supporting Manchester’s cancer research, your ticket will be free to you!
