Nicola 's Running 100 miles in January
Fundraising for Maggie's Centres
Story
am attempting to run 100 miles in January for Maggie’s Centres, specifically Maggie's Manchester. I know many people who have used and benefitted from Maggie's Manchester when receiving treatment at the Christie.
I currently run about 7-8 miles a week so this will be a significant increase for me and I am looking forward to the challenge. Hopefully, this will keep me active while we are in lockdown. I know many are facing tough times at the moment, if you can give even a small amount it will be appreciated. Thank you for your support. I've included some more information about Maggie's Centres below.
Maggie’s offers the best possible support for free to anyone with cancer. Anyone can visit a centre or join the online community. We help people take back control when cancer turns life upside down, by helping to provide professional support for anything from treatment side effects to money worries. Family and friends can visit Maggie’s too. Maggie’s story A mother of two children sits with her husband as the consultant tells her that her cancer can’t be cured. They are moved to a strip-lit, windowless corridor of the hospital to process this devastating news. This was Maggie Keswick-Jencks at the Western General Hospital in Edinburgh in 1993. She and her husband Charles discussed the need for somewhere ‘better’ to go, outside of the clinical environment, but still nearby. The very first Maggie’s opened in Edinburgh in 1996 and there are now 23 centres in the UK and three overseas.
