In 2019 Missive’s co-founder, Emma Ross, was diagnosed with parosteal osteosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer. For a company as close as Missive, this was very difficult news.

What unifies our team, however, is our determination to turn setbacks into successes. As Emma goes through treatment and recovery, the rest of the Missive team stands behind her. That is why we are pledging to spend 2020 raising £20,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support.  

Emma has already seen the life-changing emotional and physical support offered by charities like Macmillan. Now, it’s our time to give back. 

Throughout 2020, we pledge to do the following in order to raise money for Macmillan:

1. Testing our endurance

Collectively, we will run, walk, climb, swim and trudge over 500 miles. To hit this goal we’ll be running a selection of half marathons, completing a team Tough Mudder, climbing the country’s highest peaks and tackling long distance footpaths. 

2. Hosting exciting events

Throughout 2020 we’ll be inviting our network to many events to help raise funds. Keep your eyes peeled for quiz nights, auctions, wine-tastings and coffee mornings. 

3. Taking on your challenges

Lastly, and perhaps most dauntingly, we’re opening our pledge to the floor. You can send the Missive team up Snowdon, consign us to a 24 hour spinning challenge or even commission bake sales in your headquarters. The sky’s the limit! Email hello@missive.co.uk with your requests and we will respond to every single one.

We'll post news of our challenges but please don't wait! Join us in the fight and donate today to get us closer to our target!
