Maggie’s have helped me in so many ways throughout my lengthy cancer battle and I would like to give them a little something back. I’m hoping to recover sufficiently from my latest setback, to manage a slow walk along the route, which will be a huge achievement for me. The Coastal Crawl is a sponsored 6k walk along the beautiful north east coastline supporting Maggie's Newcastle.

Almost everything – their building, gardens, weekly programme and team of experts is funded by the local community. Every pound really does make a difference.
