‘WATER’ YOU DOING THIS SEPTEMBER?
Cancer is the toughest fight most of us will ever face. But you don’t have to go through it alone. The Macmillan team is with you every step of the way, from the nurses and therapists helping you through treatment to the campaigners improving cancer care. Because more people are living with cancer than ever before,
we need more nurses, more cancer support specialists and benefits advisers and we need more people like you. Join us on 30 September for the World’s Biggest Coffee
