“When my mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer it was a really hard time for our family. My parents lived far away from me and it was very difficult for me to be there in person as often as I would have liked, to support them during this awful time. It was a great comfort for me to know that they were receiving support and care from Maggie’s when I was unable to do this myself. Maggie’s staff were always available to chat whenever she needed a listening ear and a bit of support. I can't thank Maggie’s enough for the fantastic service they provide.”
Andy, Maggie’s cycling team 2009
