Story

THE MOP HAS TO GO - BRAVE THE SHAVE

I (Vin) have decided to have my head shaved and raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. Also having their heads shaved are: Sam Potter, Nathan Martin and Tom Patterson.

We would like to support this charity as they have recently helped my immediate family twice. First with my wife (Justine) by giving wellbeing/pampering days, help with completing forms and financial advice. During treatment it is very difficult to concentrate on form filling or communicate with others. Macmillan steps in and does this for you with your best interests at the forefront.

This year they helped my daughter (Rosie) after a short illness. She found herself not knowing who to turn to after financial institutes and governing bodies badly let her down. Macmillan again stepped in and picked up Rosie's case. After a lengthy process with many letters Macmillan made a successful result. 

It would be easy to just give Macmillan money to say thank you, but this way we can highlight what they do for families in need. This subject is very close to our hearts due to family and friends being affected by cancer. Any funds raised is a massive help to the continuous support they give. Macmillan is funded on donations and without their service our journeys would of been so much harder. 

Hopefully you will never been touched by cancer, but if you are, Macmillan will be there to help.

Mops will go Thursday the 18th of April at 8pm at the Beer Pharmacie, High Street, Syston.

Thank you
