Cancer is a word that no one wants to hear. My world has been turned upside down by this word twice. The first time when I was 25, the removal of one of my lungs and radiotherapy, lead to more than 10 years having no evidence of disease. In 2021 my world was hit again. I am now living with cancer, I have an incredible husband, and a great team who are keeping me as well as they can for as long as they can.

So why am I encouraging my husband to jump out of a plane with me for Maggies Northampton? When I was facing my surgeries and treatments in Oxford when I was 25, Maggie's Oxford were amazing, there to offer support, a listening ear and a cup of tea. This time round my cancer care is based in Northampton. There are big plans for a Maggie's Northampton, the support they give is so vital in helping so many people who have their lives changed by cancer and their loved ones. Maggie's Northampton will help people living through, with and beyond cancer, in Northampton and the surrounding areas, where this support is currently missing.
