Story
On 6th Sept I'll be doing the Adidas 5k Challenge and raising money for MacMillan Cancer Support.
As some of you may know, more than one of my friends has been affected by cancer.
Some have been lucky in their fight so far ... but one special lady unfortunately didn't make it.
I'll be running this in memory of that special person ..... Lee-Ann, this one's for you hunny xx
Please help me raise money for this amazing charity who help rebuild the lives of people affected by cancer.
So much money is donated to research (which is of course necessary) but some forget about those who are dealing with it. Which includes those who have been diagnosed but also the people close to them, looking after them.
Here's a bit of a blurb from their website:
As treatments improve, more and more people are living with cancer in their daily lives. This means they need more than medical help, they also need practical, emotional and financial support.
We are a source of support
We are a source of support, helping with all the things that people affected by cancer want and need. It's not only patients who live with cancer, so we also help carers, families and communities. We guide people through the system, supporting them every step of the way. We fund nurses and other specialist health care professionals and build cancer care centres. But we give so much more than medical help. People need practical support at home, so we
provide anything from some precious time off for a carer, to a lift to
hospital. People need emotional support, so we listen, advise and share
information though our CancerLine, website, support groups and trained
professionals. People need financial help to cope with the extra costs
cancer can bring, so we give benefits advice, and grants for anything
from heating bills to travel costs. Together we listen, we learn, we
act to help people live with cancer.
I know times are tough but even the smallest donation can help.
Thank you x
