One in three of us are, or will be, affected by cancer.
On it's own this is a bald statement that trips off the tongue, as all statistics do, the reality behind the statistic is truly frightening and a real leveller.
Macmillan Cancer Support offer practical, medical and emotional support to those living with cancer and their families and push for better cancer care. They offer compassion and support when it's needed most and are primarily funded by donations.
In June 2008 Macmillan Cancer Support approached me, as Director of a local business, to see if we would like to become their business partner, Macmillans' objective being to form relationships which would help them raise awareness of the services that they offer as well as raise much needed funds.
I jumped at the chance to do this, seeing it as a brilliant opportunity to focus on something very positive and worthwhile for a charity that do fantastic work at a time when due to the onset of the recession the daily news surrounding us was all doom and gloom. Over the past year our excellent staff have got involved in a sponsored abseil down the local hospital block and a 10 mile sponsored walk both of which, as well as raising valuable funds for Macmillan, have been great fun.
