Story

Thanks for supporting my fundraising. The 2023 Great Manchester Run will be my third half marathon, and this time I'll be raising money for a different cancer charity - MacMillan. My mum was first diagnosed with breast cancer back in 2011 and went through an operation, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The cancer then came back in 2020, this time it's stage 4, so more aggressive than before. The cancer has since spread to her bones and is incurable.

I wanted to raise money for MacMillan as they have supported my mum over the past few years, as well as countless other cancer patients across the country. MacMillan provide invaluable support for people living with cancer, whether that be emotional, practical, physical or financial support. 

Any donations are greatly appreciated, not only by myself and my mum, but also by the countless patients and families living with the effects of cancer every day. I know that times are tough at the moment, but even just the cost of a cup of coffee would really be appreciated!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs.

Thanks for all your support,

Lauren xx
