“I’ve chosen to take part in Maggie’s Jail or Bail because, while the “charges” may be playful, the cause is absolutely serious. Like so many families, mine has been touched by cancer, and I’ve seen first-hand the difference support makes in the toughest of times. Maggie’s provides that lifeline — free of charge, filled with care, and always there when people need it most. If I can be “locked up” for a few laughs and raise some bail money along the way, then it’s a small price to pay to help such an incredible charity”.

Maggie's has approached local business leaders and entrepreneurs and ask if they would be prepared to be locked up for Maggie's. To our delight they agreed, and here we are today. Our courageous jail birds have been charged with outrageous fictitious crimes and are now in cuffs and behind bars!

Bail for each has been set at £1,000 and now the criminals have been sent down to contemplate their crimes and go about raising funds to pay their bail.

Having traded in their freedom for Maggie's the challenge they face is to muster all their powers of persuasion and call on the collective goodwill of their networks to raise funds for Maggie's Cancer Centres. Their freedom & their reputation depend on it!

Jail or bail is sure to be fun for everyone involved, but let's not forget the important reason behind the event: to raise funds to support people with cancer.

Thank you
