After many years of supporting family and friends in their fundraising activities its my turn to stretch myself physically and raise some funds for an excellent charity, which lets face it, does an amazing job, although we really do not want to call on their services.

The reality is :-  that almost 1,000 people hear the news that they have cancer every day, in the last year over 338,000 more people have been diagnosed with cancer in the UK and a quarter of them will have no support from family and friends. Isolation and loneliness remain a major issue for many people coping with cancer.

Macmillan are determined to make sure that people living with cancer and their loved ones get the support they need.
