Stone Roses legend Gary "Mani" Mounfield and wife Imelda have announced they are to host a gala fundraising night - after Imelda's diagnosis with cancer. The event will be called "This is the One" after the hit Stone Roses song, with the subtitle "Let's kick cancer's arse", and promises a night of music and entertainment for charity.
Events agent Imelda was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer in November 2020. Now, Mani and Imelda area hoping to raise awareness and funds for The Christie Hospital and The Stockport Charitable Trust at the glittering fundraiser event to be held at The Kimpton Clocktower Hotel on November 18.
Imelda says: "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."
