I’m taking part in Maggie’s “Get Out of Jail” event because, as a family lawyer, I see firsthand how vital support and compassion are during life’s toughest moments. Maggie’s offers that lifeline to people facing cancer, and I’m proud to lend my voice (and my bail money!) to such a brilliant cause. If I can raise a smile while raising funds—and maybe get “locked up” for my crimes against courtroom drama—then count me in. It’s a chance to give back, have a laugh, and stand up for a charity that truly changes lives.

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
