Macmillan have launched the Yorkshire Appeal which aims to raise additional funds to cover their emergency response and vital services that are needed to support the 179,000 people currently living with cancer in the region.

Macmillan’s fundraising team have come up with a great opportunity for us to raise funds for a post they are funding at Airedale NHS Foundation Trust.  For those who have been diagnosed with Head and Neck Cancer, a Speech and Language Therapist is invaluable  in helping them prepare for lifechanging surgery and providing practical emotional support around changes or loss of their speech.  It costs £4,250 to pay for a Therapist for a month.  It would be great if we could raise enough over the next few months to cover the cost of a Therapist for 1 or maybe even 2 months.
