Help support Andrea Johnson in her Macmillan plank Every Day Challenge
PLEASE HELP SUPPORT ANDREA JOHNSON IN HER MACMILLAN PLANK EVERY DAY CHALLENGE
Cancer, the big ‘C’. I don’t know a person who has not been affected by this in some way, either through their own personal battle or through a close friend or relative.
I personally have lost 6 family members in the last 5 years due to various different cancers and more besides in previous years, I have lost work colleagues who have been taken away far too young due to this terrible disease, my mum has survived one cancer and is now battling another type, I have close friends fighting this and in the last year, I too have had my own battle with breast cancer.
I am one of the lucky ones who has fought and survived and that is in no small part due to the amazing medical care provided by our NHS and the amazing advances made in different treatments offered over the years. Much of these advances and the increased survival rate of people like myself owes a huge thanks to charities such as Macmillan. Macmillan Cancer Support is one of the largest British charities that provides specialist health care, information and financial support to people affected by cancer.
For the entire month of March I will be participating in the Macmillan plank every day challenge to help raise funds for this amazing charity to play my part in ensuring that they can continue to help the millions of others needing effective cancer care and support. Maybe you or your family at some point? The stats certainly indicate that even you reading this may be affected in some way during your own life.
If you or someone you know is affected by cancer and you want someone to talk to, I am no expert, but I have a great listening ear and I am always happy to speak to anyone regarding my own experience in the hope that it will help someone else.
