Over the past 10 years I have been aware of Maggies and the work they do . I’ve attended events supporting Maggies both at venues throughout the city and at Maggies Glasgow.

Although I have been a supporter. , I have never actively fundraised for Maggies so when I was asked I was delighted to get involved. Members of my family have had close involvement with the Centre in Glasgow and when I was invited to visit the first thing that struck me was the warm, open welcoming space where people were meeting and chatting with others in similar situations to themselves which must be a great comfort.

Looking forward to this challenge and raising funds for Maggies.

Maggie's has approached local business leaders and entrepreneurs and ask if they would be prepared to be locked up for Maggie's. To our delight they agreed, and here we are today. Our courageous jail birds have been charged with outrageous fictitious crimes and are now in cuffs and behind bars!

Bail for each has been set at £1,000 and now the criminals have been sent down to contemplate their crimes and go about raising funds to pay their bail.

Having traded in their freedom for Maggie's the challenge they face is to muster all their powers of persuasion and call on the collective goodwill of their networks to raise funds for Maggie's Cancer Centres. Their freedom & their reputation depend on it!

Jail or bail is sure to be fun for everyone involved, but let's not forget the important reason behind the event: to raise funds to support people with cancer.

Thank you
