Can you help me do something good?

I am raising funds for Maggie’s Cancer Support Centres. I will be walking 22 miles across the U.K. moors in memory of my dear friend Betsy Bennett. Sadly, she passed away from leukaemia at only 61. I want to honour her by using the power of this blog to raise a substantial amount. If everyone who reads this blog donates £5.00, we will raise an amazing amount!

Betsy was a psychologist. We collaborated in Pittsburgh and North Carolina. Her kindness and personality touched everyone she met. She introduced me to research on patient and psychological outcomes, which changed my research direction. I’m so grateful to have known her. 

What is Maggies?

Maggies is a fantastic charity. There are 24 centres in the UK, welcoming 100+ visitors into each centre every day. I volunteer at the Manchester Centre.

The centres offer free practical and emotional support to anyone whose lives are affected by cancer. They depend entirely on charitable donations and concentrate on issues such as financial worries, housing, stress management, treatment side effects, and family support. They provide this support through one-on-one sessions or group discussions. 

It would be wonderful to provide them with substantial support to help them sustain their incredible work.
