As well as curing aching limbs at Melwood, Liverpool physio Chris Morgan has raised a remarkable £21,000 for The Christie – Europe’s largest cancer centre.
Morgan secured sponsorship from Kopites around the world via Twitter before running the Manchester 10k in an impressive 44mins 11secs.
The Manchester hospital was his chosen charity as it’s where his friend and former Liverpool defender Gary Ablett was treated after being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma last year.
Morgan, who also auctioned off signed shirts donated by Reds stars, was blown away by the response.
“99% of the people who sponsored me have never met me, but they did it because of the Liverpool link and because they recognized it was for a really good cause,” he said. “I’d like to say thanks to everyone who sponsored me.”
