Thanks also goes out to all those who sponsored and supported the participants through donations, supply of food or moral support!

A Macmillan Nurse for 1 year

When faced with a cancer diagnosis, imagine the difference it would make to know that there was somebody to turn to, somebody to guide you through the maze of different services and be a consistent source of support. That someone is a Macmillan nurse. Our expert nurses aim to be there right from the point of diagnosis, providing much-needed advice, information and support. They provide care in a variety of settings, for example, in hospital, at home or from a local clinic.

The money raised by MoneySpinners is enough to fund the vital work of a Macmillan Nurse for just over 1 year, during which time they will conduct over 2,500 visits with patients who are affected by cancer.

"Without my Macmillan nurse, my journey would have been a very different one. When I was exhausted, sick from my treatment and wondering what would hit me next; he was there for me. When I didn't want to worry my family; he was there for me. One Saturday morning when I was terrified that my cancer had returned; he was still there for me."

From all of us at Macmillan Cancer Support, we can't thank you enough for your commitment and support. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with you all.
