A big thank you to Maggie's Running Team in 2011 who raised an incredible £120,000!
"The first few days after we heard the diagnosis were bizarre, we felt as if we'd been dumped on a strange planet full of doctors, hospitals and a language none of us could understand. One afternoon I found my self wandering in to the Maggie's Centre. It was an amazing oasis of calm and understanding and I knew straight away that this was somewhere I could ask anything"
Sarah, Maggie's runner.
