Join Team Macmillan Today
Macmillan in Shropshire are asking local runners to pop on their running shoes and help raise money to support people affected by cancer. Taking part in a running event is a huge personal challenge, but crossing the finishing line and knowing that you are making a huge difference to local people will make it all worthwhile. We are really keen for runners to take part in the Ironbridge Half Marathon on Sunday 1 April and the Market Drayton 10k on Sunday 13 May.
Rachel Cooper, Shropshire Fundraising Manager, said: 'Macmillan relies almost entirely on voluntary donations to fund our vital cancer services, so we need as many people as possible to take on these runs for us. The support Macmillan provides people affected by cancer is essential and many people would struggle to cope without it. Taking on a running challenge like this will make you feel good. However doing it for Macmillan will make you feel fantastic.'
Macmillan will support you every step of the way. When you join Team Macmillan you will get a green Macmillan running vest, newsletters, advice, and fundraising tips.
You can register for both the Ironbridge Half and the Market Drayton 10k online. Once you have registered please join Team Macmillan by emailing running@macmillan.org.uk|.
The money raised by runners taking part for Macmillan will be used to fund vital services for people affected by cancer. This includes our Macmillan health professionals, our information services, our free-phone helpline and our patient grants. Macmillan in Shropshire provides medical, practical, emotional and financial support. There are 22 Macmillan health professionals working to support people affected by cancer in Shropshire.
