Thanks for supporting my fundraising for Macmillan Cancer Support. Macmillan gives people with cancer everything they’ve got. If you’re diagnosed, your worries are Macmillan’s worries. Macmillan’s doing whatever it takes. But without your help, Macmillan can’t support everyone who needs them. We have lost family due to cancer so thought it would be a great idea to dedicate our Christmas Display to Macmillan this year.

I am an employee at Travis Perkins and as Travis Perkins partnered with Macmillan in 2015 and have raised over £3 million, we thought we would add to the fundraising they are currently doing for Macmillan.

There are currently 3 million people living with cancer in the UK, with someone receiving a cancer diagnosis every two minutes. Travis Perkins knows that one in two people in the UK will be diagnosed with cancer in their life-time. That’s means half of their employees and half of their customers will be directly impacted by cancer – Travis Perkins wants to play their part.

Their fundraising helps Macmillan to ensure people living with, or affected by, cancer receive the support they need to live life as fully as they can. Macmillan supports people from the point of diagnosis through to end of life, by providing physical, financial and emotional support, when people need it most.
