Story
We have an amazing team of Maggie's runners taking on the 2018 London Marathon. Our team includes first time marathon runners, experienced runners and four people attempting two world record attempts!
Maggie’s is a national charity with 21 Centres across the UK on the grounds of NHS Hospitals. Maggie’s Centres offer free support to people affected by cancer and their family and friends, in a warm and homely environment. Every Maggie’s Centre is different in its outward appearance, but within each you can find cosy quiet rooms, busy social spaces, a large communal kitchen, and a real sense of calm. Our professional staff teams within each Centre have years of clinical experience and are able to offer practical and emotional support to anyone who visits.
There is no referral process and no bookings are needed. Simply pop in and speak to someone. However, addition to drop-in support, we also offer a wide range of other services and groups.
£2400 pays for a day at a Maggie’s Centre
£50 means someone just diagnosed with cancer can receive immediate advice and support from a Cancer Support Specialist.
£40 could help someone diagnosed with cancer focus on their treatment and less on the struggle of supporting their family with our expert benefits advisors
£20 can help support an individual during cancer and its treatment through providing a greater understanding of the vital role of nutrition
