Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.Fundraising is hugely important to Macmillan. Without people doing events, running marathons, climbing mountains, and donating in all the other ways that you can, Macmillan wouldn’t exist.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.

I have relied on the help from the Macmillan team over the past 20 years to support my patients through cancer treatment. Last year my Mam was diagnosed with bladder cancer and had a tough time with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. My family are very grateful to Macmillan for the practical and emotional support which was provided by our local Macmillan nurse Tricia Pattison. I decided to do the Great North run to raise some money for Macmillan. A half marathon seemed an impossible task a year ago but I'm training hard and feel that it may come together on the day
