Play your part and try and do something about the second biggest cause of death: Cancer

Thank you for taking interest and opening my blog. Cancer is becoming increasingly more common; there are approximately 298,000 new cases of cancer diagnosed each year in the U.K. Cancer is tackled in a way that is focused on fixing, curing and stopping the physical effects of cancer. Although finding a way to cure the physical effects of cancer is very important, many people forget the way cancer effects people emotionally and mentally.

Having cancer is a major ordeal and it takes a lot of support to live with cancer. Macmillan Cancer Support help people get through their cancer journey and help people get on top of your lives and feel good about their selves. Macmillan provides support groups, information centres, online chat groups, online information publications and a website. They even provide help lines so people can have comfort, support and talk to somebody who knows about cancer.

Macmillan cancer support care, they care about every single person with cancer out there and will be there for them no matter who they are. At least 80% of all the money they raise or that is donated to them goes toward funding facilities, raising money for nurses and helping cancer patients unlike most charities where only 5% of the money raised goes to the initial causes. They run campaigns, volunteering and they also have got involved with youth groups and schools.

Macmillan’s ambition is that regardless where you live in the U.K, what type of cancer you have, that you should have the best possible treatment, care and support. Macmillan Cancer Support improves the lives of people affected by cancer. They provide practical, medical and financial support and push for better cancer care. We can all help. We are Macmillan.

Please help Macmillan help the thousands of people across the U.K with cancer and get involved. Macmillan wants to spread a message of hope across the country for cancer patients, friends and family that things will get better.
