I am one of 14 local business leaders and influencers who have been locked up for Maggie's. I've been found guilty of 'Wearing Maggie’s orange outside a Maggie’s event', and sent down with bail set at a minimum of £1,000.

With only my phone, laptop and my powers of persuasion, I need your help to raise funds to pay bail and escape jail!

"Maggie’s will forever have my heart. During my eye cancer treatment, they provided a safe space. One in which I could cry, have valuable pre and post operative counselling, take part in group exercise to regain my balance and confidence, and put on family days to help my then young daughters process what had happened. It helped me thrive rather than just survive…[and started my addiction to wearing orange (for which I am guilty and unrepentant).]"

For many people living in the Northeast, Maggie's Aberdeen is a beacon of hope, offering a unique programme of practical and psychological support, available free of charge to people at any stage and with any type of cancer, and to their family and friends.

Maggie’s Aberdeen opened its doors in 2013, and by the end of 2026 they expect to have welcomed and supported over 100,000 visits, delivered thousands of one-to-one psychologist sessions, and secured over £9million in financial benefits for local people. They rely entirely on voluntary donations and gifts in wills to fund their work, and with instances of cancer 1 in 2 people, there is huge demand for the support they provide.

Please donate to bail me out (or keep me in!) and support Maggie’s – every £ will help.
