MacMillan Cancer Support
Whatever your level of experience, when it comes to support, there’s no competition. If you run for Macmillan Cancer Support , we’ll be there for you every step of the way. As a valued member of Team Macmillan, we’ll provide you with expert training and fundraising advice and give you all the information you need to ensure a successful and memorable marathon day.
Macmillan Cancer Support improves the lives of people affected by cancer. We provide expert cancer information about the disease and how to live with it. We listen to how people have been affected by a cancer diagnosis and support them emotionally. We help people financially and do whatever we can so they can live full and active lives. And our health and social care professionals provide vital support from the time someone suspects they have cancer to when they no longer need our help.
If you run for Macmillan, here’s just some of the ways your money could be used to help support people living with cancer.
£100 could pay for 196 copies of The cancer guide. This Macmillan booklet can help someone recently diagnosed with cancer, and their family, to understand cancer, its treatment, and the help available.
£250 could help pay for telephone lines to be set up for two new cancer self help and support groups, helping them to advertise and receive calls from new members.
£918 could pay for a Macmillan nurse for a working week, giving people living with cancer and their families essential medical, practical and emotional support.
Two million people are living with cancer in the UK today. Thanks to our supporters, we’re on our way to reaching our aim of helping every one of them. Run the 2010 ING New York Marathon for Team Macmillan and help us reach more people who need our help.
‘It was an amazing experience in itself, but running for Macmillan added an extra dimension. I was proud to wear the green vest, and the support on the course and smiling faces at the end made it extra special. Well Done Macmillan – you did yourselves proud!’ David, Team Macmillan
