MacMillan were a great support to both my sister and my dad following their cancer diagnosis before they both died last year. To show my appreciation for their support I am going to try and run as close to 100 miles as I can by running 5 mile loops round my village starting Friday afternoon and hopefully finishing before midnight on Saturday. No idea how close I will get but I will do my best. Any money you are willing to donate will help keep me motivated and pushing on.

The number of people diagnosed with cancer is growing, and every one of them needs the best support to meet their unique needs.

That's why Macmillan will do whatever it takes to help everyone living with cancer across the UK get the support they need right now and transform cancer care for everyone who will be diagnosed in the future.
