<p><span style="color: #339966;"><span style="color: #333333;">The North East Maggie's Centre, designed by Ted Cullinan, goes on site this year. To celebrate this, show our support and help raise money for Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres, a team from</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">Edward Cullinan Architects</span> <span style="color: #333333;">will be walking the London Night Hike 2011.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #339966;"><span style="color: #333333;">Providing the right environment for visitors to a Maggie's Centre is crucial as it allows people to feel supported and uplifted. The North East centre will provide a place of calm and care to help people with cancer and their friends and families. Particular to this Maggie's Centre is a sheltered sunken court on its south side and a large south-facing sloping roof over the library that has photovoltaic cells to make electricity ... and provides inspiration for this year's Night Hike team name:</span> <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>'<span style="color: #ff0000;">Sole <span style="color: #000000;">II</span></span> Solar'</strong></span><span style="color: #333333;">.
