We wrapped up our Cancer Awareness Week with our final event on Saturday morning at the Windrush Leisure Centre – a charity spin class led by instructor Sara. It was a great turnout, with even more donations raised to support Macmillan.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped with the coffee morning, baked or brought in cakes, took part in the charity spin, or kindly made a donation.

Our grand total raised is £836.48!

The money raised will go towards:

  • Physical support – providing specialist nurses and information on cancer, as well as support with coping with side effects such as hair loss, exercise, and nutrition.
  • Financial support – offering benefits advice to those diagnosed with cancer, so money is one less thing to worry about.
  • Emotional support – providing dedicated support lines, online communities, and signposting to local support groups, giving people the chance to talk and gain support with how they are feeling.

 Thank you again to everyone involved for making this such a successful week.  As our members said on Saturday 'Everyone knows Someone with Cancer'.
