Every day 822 people in the UK are told they have cancer.
This is news that not only turns their world upside down but also affects their family and friends.
HOW DO CAMBOURNE FUNDRAISING GROUP HELP SUPPORT THOSE PEOPLE?
Cambourne Fundraising Group's aim is to contribute to Macmillan Cancer Support's ambition to help every one of these people by providing the medical, emotional, practical and financial support they need. That's why they need your help more than ever.
WHAT DO MACMILLAN CANCER SUPPORT DO?
Macmillan are a source of support, helping with all the things that people affected by cancer want and need. It's not only patients who live with cancer, so they also help carers, families and communities. They guide people through the system, supporting them every step of the way. They fund nurses and other specialist health care professionals and build cancer care centres. But they give so much more than medical help. People need practical support at home, so they provide anything from some precious time off for a carer, to a lift to hospital. People need emotional support, so they listen, advise and share information though the CancerLine, website, support groups and trained professionals. People need financial help to cope with the extra costs cancer can bring, so they give benefits advice, and means tested grants for anything from heating bills to travel costs. Together they listen, they learn, they act to help people living with cancer.
