“Maggie’s Fife do amazing work in supporting people dealing with the harsh effects of cancer in our community. It is an honour to be asked to assist them in raising funds and awareness, especially in such a fun and engaging way. I have and still do use humour as a way of getting through tough times. I know people who have been affected by cancer and are still dealing with those effects and some sadly who are no longer with us. I do this in honour of Maggie’s Fife, their staff, and all their users past, present and future.”

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

Bail has been set at £1,000 and now I have been sent down to contemplate my crimes and go about raising funds to pay my bail.

If myself and my 5 fellow prisoners can collectively raise £6000 for our bail, we will automatically trigger a further £6000 in matched funding from Smith Anderson group. Which would be enough to run the Maggie's Centre for a full week (£12,000)!

Having traded in my freedom for Maggie's the challenge I face is to muster all my powers of persuasion and call on the collective goodwill of my network to raise funds for Maggie's Cancer Centres. My freedom & 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
