Macmillan Cancer Support improves the lives of people affected by cancer. We provide practical, medical, emotional and financial support and campaign for better cancer care.

Around 3,800 people are diagnosed with cancer in Coventry and Warwickshire every year. Macmillan can help by providing practical, medical, emotional and financial support.

Thanks to the support of our donors, people affected by cancer in Coventry and Warwickshire now benefit from over 60 Macmillan health professionals who are specialists in cancer care.

Macmillan works with the NHS and other health and social care partners in your area to improve the lives of people affected by cancer. We need hundreds of thousands of pounds this year to ensure we can pay for

	a newly appointed Macmillan dietitian
	special training in palliative care for a Macmillan GP
	money to fund our cancerline, youthline and emotional support services

Last year we also gave out over £82,000 in Macmillan financial grants to 220 people to help combat the cost of cancer.

The team are currently working hard to raise the funds for the race. Therefore they are keeping the donations to Macmillan separate from the race funds. We should have more information regarding donating to Macmillan Cancer Support within the next few weeks.
