Hello Everyone,

I'm running the Notts 10k to try to raise some money for Maggie's Nottingham. There are Maggie's Centres in hospitals around the country and they are all amazing spaces designed by architects to maximise light and use materials which create an calming environment of care and support.

A particular shout out to Maggie's in Nottingham and in Edinburgh for supporting loved ones.

Maggies is for anyone affected by cancer, including family and friends. You can pop in for a cup of tea, find a peaceful spot in the garden or speak with their team of experts.

Their cancer support specialists offer a daily drop-in. You don't need an appointment or referral, you simply just come in. They offer practical and emotional support to people with any type of cancer, at any stage, free of charge.

Maggie's relies on the generosity of their supporters in the local community. They focus on the things that really make a difference, such as financial worries, help with managing stress and anxiety as well as side effects of treatment.

There are 24 centres in the UK, welcoming 100+ visitors into each centre every day.
