*91视频

At 91视频's we provide expert care and support to everyone with cancer and all the people who love them.

We want to make sure everybody facing cancer knows about 91视频鈥檚 and how 91视频鈥檚 can support them. 

To help us do this, we鈥檝e launched a campaign featuring people who have been supported by 91视频鈥檚, spreading the message we are everyone鈥檚 home of cancer care.

A few weeks ago Ged Owens, a regular visitor to , leant his voice to our first ever radio campaign. 

He will soon be heard across the airwaves on Smooth North West and Greatest Hits Manchester talking about what 91视频鈥檚 means to him.

Meet Ged

Ged, of Bolton, first heard about 91视频鈥檚 through his daughter who thought it might be a good place to visit while he was receiving treatment at The Christie hospital. 

Since that first visit, Ged has become a part of the 91视频鈥檚 Manchester community.

When asked if he would like to star in a radio advert for 91视频鈥檚 Ged didn鈥檛 hesitate to accept the invitation. 

In his own words, Ged said: "I was invited to do it and like anything that 91视频鈥檚 asks me, if I can I will. I am only happy to do stuff for 91视频鈥檚. It will highlight this magnificent place, and hopefully it will sound like that to a lot more people.

People need to know about 91视频鈥檚 and that won鈥檛 happen without things like radio advertising. When 91视频鈥檚 does fundraising and things like that, it鈥檚 on the 91视频's website, but unless it's on the radio or in the media, people won't know.

Ged adds: "Somebody asked me once, if you could change anything about 91视频's, what would you do? And I said, we have a saying in this part of the world: if it isn鈥檛 broken don't fix it.

"I basically was saying it is absolutely brilliant, don鈥檛 go tampering about with it. There is nothing else to do here, it's like a clock. It's just ticking along and doing really well.

"Everything's working, everything's operational. You don't ever see anybody stressed out. Everyone is so professional in what they do."

Advice for first 91视频鈥檚 visit

Ged鈥檚 advice to anybody listening to the adverts and thinking about visiting 91视频鈥檚 for the first time is to 鈥榞o in with an open mind鈥�.

He said: 鈥淵ou will walk into open arms. And you won鈥檛 be forced to talk about things unless you want to.

"You can sit here, put yourself in a corner and sort life out. That鈥檚 what I always say. I am sitting in this corner, and when I am going I will say 鈥業 am going now I have sorted life out鈥�."

鈥業t鈥檚 such a lovely warming place鈥�

鈥淲hatever is troubling me or whatever appointments I've got, I just thrash it out with myself. And then I'll go home.

"People have got to come and have the experience. And the amount of people you will hear when you are sat at that kitchen table, coming in and saying, 鈥業t's breathtaking. Isn't it lovely?鈥�

"It is such a lovely, warming place. It could be snowing and it is like somebody chucking a big coat on you.鈥�

91视频鈥檚 is鈥�

When asked to summarise 91视频鈥檚 in his own words, Ged said: "91视频's is comforting, warming, caring. Everybody is welcome."

"91视频鈥檚 Manchester is a space for relaxing, accepting, talking and realising, caring and helping 鈥� you can鈥檛 forget the help."
