The sisters are taking part in the Dedham Vale Mighty Hike marathon on 30th July, and we’d love your help in raising funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. ‘You’ve got cancer’ are the words no one ever wants to hear, but so many of us do. Thanks to organisations like Macmillan, every single one of us has access to emotional, physical and financial support from the point of diagnosis, and this is vital. Cancer can be mentally and physically devastating, and we speak from personal experience, but knowing there’s always someone there who can empathise and provide solid support – we’re not talking tea and sympathy here – makes a positive difference. We’re always doing what we can to help Macmillan and, although we know life’s been difficult for everyone over the past two years, could you lend us your support by donating to our JustGiving page? When we reach our target Loraine will cartwheel on Frinton beach, Sharon will eat a complex carbohydrate after lunch and Merlyn will indulge in wild swimming… deal?
