Macmillan Cancer Support has always been a charity close to my heart. A leading cause of death worldwide, in 2020 cancer accounted for 10 million deaths. With the chances of developing the disease now at one in every two people, it would be hard for cancer not to have affected someone you know. 

Back to Macmillan. As they state on their website, ‘Cancer is not going anywhere. And neither are we.’ On a mission to provide the best possible support for people living with cancer, an incredible 98% of their income comes from voluntary donations. With countless ways to fundraise, this month I have joined their challenge to walk 50 miles in November.

Given I am unable to exercise post-ear-op, this felt like a great opportunity to keep some movement going while stepping up for a great cause. To make it even more of a challenge I have upped the 50 miles (80kms) to 100kms. With nine days left, I’m three-quarters of the way to my walking goal but could use a leg-up on the fundraising side. With payday just around the corner for many of us, if you’re able to contribute, I’d appreciate donations of any amount to help me support the crucial services Macmillan provides.
