I am one of fourteen local Business leaders who have been put behind bars for Maggie's. I've been found guilty of adopting squirrels, calling them Fred and building them picnic benches in his garden and sent down with bail set at a minimum of £1,000.

With only my phone, laptop and my powers of persuasion, I need your help to raise funds to pay bail and escape jail!

I have been aware of Maggie's since the first centre opened in Edinburgh in 1996 and personally, my family has benefited from the Maggie's Centre in Aberdeen, and I’ve had clients who have used the centres in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Maggie's vision, and what Laura Lee has accomplished since Maggie’s passing, is truly extraordinary. With six new centres in development and the ongoing costs of expanding these, I’m proud to lend my support to Maggie’s.

For many people living in the Northeast, Maggie's Aberdeen is a beacon of hope, offering a unique programme of practical and psychological support, available free of charge to people at any stage and with any type of cancer, and to their family and friends.

Maggie’s Aberdeen doors opened in 2013 and by the end of 2025 they expect to have welcomed and supported over 100,000 visits, delivered thousands of one-to-one psychologist sessions, and secured over £11 million in financial benefits for local people. They rely entirely on voluntary donations and gifts in wills to fund their work, and with instances of cancer 1 in 2 people, there is huge demand for the support they provide.

Please donate to bail me out (or keep me in!) and support Maggie’s – every £ will help.
