At Macmillan, we will move mountains to help people with cancer live life as fully as they can. We’re doing whatever it takes. But without your help we can’t support everyone who needs us. To donate, volunteer, raise money or campaign with us, call 0300 1000 200 or visit macmillan.org.uk

Story

Idiotic as it may sound, I'm running the Yorkshire Marathon to raise money for Macmillan!

As you might know, we lost my grandma to a pretty aggressive cancer recently. We still don't really know the ins and outs of it, she deteriorated too quickly for the doctors to run the proper tests - what we do know is that she gave it a bloody good go. 

Proper motivational type stuff - we watched on in awe. 

The people at Macmillan really are great - I know my family cannot speak highly enough of them. They're there when you need them to be, and calm/supportive in the moments where you frankly have no idea what to do. 

In memory of her, and gratitude to the amazing team at Macmillan, I wanted to give something back and show appreciation for what they do. I'm aiming for a now revised target of £750, so appreciate greatly anything you are willing and able to give. 

Thanks for reading.
