In memory of Melanie Jaggard
We fund research, education & equipment to help fight all Head & Neck disease

Story

All those taking part in Miles 4 Mel are raising money for Get A Head, a fantastic charity which provides support for, and research into, head & neck cancers. We're doing this in memory of Mel Jaggard who sadly passed away in 2013 from Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (ACC) which is a very rare form of cancer.

This year, in 2016, Miles 4 Mel is back for the third times in memory of Mel and to raise more vitally important money for the Get A Head charitable trust.

This charity is also important to me on another more personal note as my mother was diagnosed with head & neck cancer 3 years ago and although she won the battle and survived, she is still living with the after effects of the treatment that she went through. I am raising money to support all those people who continue to suffer through this illness, both during and after treatment.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

About the charity
