We receive a lot of letters into the Head Office from supporters. We have a lot of supporters who choose to share their stories and their losses, their experience and their story with us. We love those letters and we especially love the letters from children involved in fundraising. 

I have had various Cancer experiences within my family. I lost my dad when I was 10. My brother had Stage 3 cancer through 2019, we nearly lost him as well.

That triggered a re-alignment of my own values and where I wanted to go in my life.

When I saw the job it really stood out to me because I was someone who has experience of loved ones with Cancer in the family; my dad previously had cancer. It stood out as an opportunity to really make a difference and help people.

I think I always knew I wanted to work in the third sector but it was a roundabout way to get here. 

I worked in Tech before, had enough of that and decided to pursue my dream. I quit my job and this role at Macmillan came up and it felt like fate.
