Gary Mani Mounfield, perhaps better recognised as simply Mani, of Stone Roses fame, along with his wife Imelda, will host a special fundraising night of music and fun at The Kimpton Clocktower.
Happening on Fri 18 Nov, This is The One promises a night of ‘first class entertainment’, along plenty of opportunities to win prizes donated by bands, footballers, actors, venues and promoters, with all proceeds going to The Christie Hospital and The Stockport Charitable Trust.
Imelda, who was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer in November 2020, explained how the two charities were close to the pair’s hearts: “Both charities have supported me through my journey. Cancer affects not just the person who has it, but everyone around them, and I hope that by investing in some more research, we can help alleviate some of the devastation caused to families.”
Mani added: “When life deals you a pair of twos, you must get your game face on! The past two years since my wife’s diagnosis have been brutal in so many ways, but it’s also opened our eyes to so many things. This disease needs to be eradicated – we feel duty-bound to do our bit to achieve this. So everybody, get on board, dig deep, help out, we will win!”
More details of the evening are to be announced shortly, in the meantime, you can donate to Imelda’s Justgiving page here.
