Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

During 2020, I set out to cycle 500K for Maggies, but unfortunately I got knocked off my bike, fracturing my ankle. So I had to cancel the rest of the ride!

So I’m adding the 200K I missed out on, on to my next challenge.

Any donations are appreciated. Please select gift aid if eligible.

Maggie's story

A mother of two children sits with her husband as the consultant tells her that her cancer can't be cured.

They are moved to a strip-lit, windowless corridor of the hospital to process this devastating news.

This was Maggie Keswick-Jencks at the Western General Hospital in Edinburgh in 1993. She and her husband Charles discussed the need for somewhere 'better' to go, outside of the clinical environment, but still nearby. The very first Maggie's opened in Edinburgh in 1996 and there are now 23 centres in the UK and three overseas.
