53rd Macmillan Charity Raceday

Since 1971 The Macmillan Charity Raceday has raised a staggering £10 million. The proceeds have enabled us to help people living with cancer with financial, physical and emotional support.

One in two of us can expect to receive a cancer diagnosis during our lifetime. Macmillan has an ambitious plan to invest in the cancer workforce across Yorkshire, providing vital care now and building a cancer care system that is fit for the future.

By attending our 53rd Macmillan Charity Raceday you help us to raise the funds which are crucial in helping us to tackle this crisis and ensure people with cancer receive the tailored care and support they need, now and in the future.

Tickets are now available from the York Racecourse website

This event has raised £10 million pounds to date and has enabled us to help people living with cancer with financial, physical and emotional support, just like Adam from North Yorkshire.

Diagnosed with throat cancer in October 2022, Adam's diagnosis came as a shock but was helped by Macmillan throughout his treatment and recovery. 

"I had brilliant support from the Macmillan nurses who were so kind and caring. They looked after me on my hospital visits.

“I was put through the system quickly, and all the staff I met were fantastic, including the Macmillan staff. When I had radiotherapy all the staff in the team were really caring and I built up a good relationship with them. I was very well looked after.”

Adam, North Yorkshire
