Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Maggie’s in Sutton was my sanctuary through my recent cancer journey. They provided me with a source of information, an ever present shoulder to cry on and an endless supply of tea and coffee. Everyone at Maggie’s truly helped me keep my sanity through the first half of 2023.

If there was a course going then I was there - learning about nutrition, exercise, meeting others at support groups, Nordic walking and the group “Where Now” sessions. I even went to a make-up session, which was hilarious given I don’t wear make-up and clearly had no idea what I was doing!

All services provided at Maggie’s are free to users of the centres. Maggie’s only exists thanks to the generous support of others, and I am therefore very thankful to be able to do my little part to help raise funds so that they can continue their fantastic work.

Jack is doing this walk with me, in part to provide encouragement to help me get round, but also as he’s heard at length me singing the praises of this wonderful place.

Any donation, whatever size, would be greatly appreciated.
