Cancer is a word, not a sentence

My name is Katy and thank you for taking the time to read my blog and showing an interest in my chosen topic. I hope that after reading this you will support my cause even more if you did already and I hope you would be willing to donation even the slightest bit of money to the organisation.  My aim is to raise awareness about this issue and I chose this issue because I know people close to me who have suffered from cancer and Macmillan have helped them and helped them to survive. Since being first introduced in 1911 Macmillan has improved immensely and in the past year over 2million people in the UK have had cancer and Macmillan Cancer Support have helped over 1million of them. Macmillan cancer support is a organisation that treats people with cancer and helps to support them through the process. It is an establishment that relies on people donations and fundraising because without them Macmillan Cancer Support wouldn’t be what it is today. You can do this by going on this website: 

http://www.macmillan.org.uk/Donate/Donate.aspx 

If people didn’t donate then Macmillan wouldn’t be able to help as many people because their money would be running out therefore they won’t be able to supply all the medicine that is needed to treat people and then within a year or two Macmillan would be severely struggling to treat and help cancerous people. Cancer is an illness which everybody knows is common but if it has not affected someone you know then it seems like a fantasy. Well it’s actually the reality, if someone you knew was suffering from any cancer you would want people to treat them and make them better (if possible). Macmillan helps people in these situations and they also help the family to cope with the illness and they teach them how to look after them when they are at home. Without Macmillan so many more people would be dying of cancer and families of them might not be able to deal with it. You can help to support Macmillan by:

• Great London Swim
• Longest Day Golf Challenge
• Biking Events
• House of Lords vs House of Commons Tug of War

These are only a few ways in which you can support them.

Macmillan really needs fundraising and all of the money you give goes to things such as:

• New medical treatment for patients
• Surgical Equipment for operations
• Saves thousands of lives all around the UK
• Higher the survival rate of cancer
• Changes the lives of people and give them the opportunity to have a normal life.

It is so simple so please give up some of your time and money, it will help to make the difference that is needed. Please post a note so I can have some evidence that my blog has been well received
