Thank you for taking the time to visit our 'Sole II Solar' JustGiving page.

The North East Maggie's Centre, designed by Ted Cullinan, goes on site this year. To celebrate this, show our support and help raise money for Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres, a team from Edward Cullinan Architects will be walking the London Night Hike 2011.

Providing the right environment for visitors to a Maggie's Centre is crucial as it allows people to feel supported and uplifted. The North East centre will provide a place of calm and care to help people with cancer and their friends and families. Particular to this Maggie's Centre is a sheltered sunken court on its south side and a large south-facing sloping roof over the library that has photovoltaic cells to make electricity ... and provides inspiration for this year's Night Hike team name: 'Sole II Solar'. (Sole as in shoe and II as in second year in a row). As we did last year, we will be using the sun image, by Ted Cullinan, as our emblem, which he drew to highlight the passive solar principles used in the design.

We are very grateful of all donations. Thank you.
