In September I’ll be part of a team walking half a marathon up the Northumberland coast for our pal, Caoimhe, who we sadly lost to a brain tumour earlier this year. Her MacMillan nurse was invaluable in her care and we’d love to help others benefit from their care.

I'd be so grateful if you could help me reach my £250 pledge, which can pay for Macmillan Nurse for one day. This could provide people living with cancer and their families essential medical, practical and emotional support.

There are currently 3 million people living with cancer in the UK today. It's Macmillan's goal to be there for everyone from the moment of diagnosis, but they can't do this without donations from people like you.

Thank you!
