Our Managing Director, Oliver Laver is running the London Marathon to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Macmillan Cancer Support improves the lives of people affected by cancer. One in three of us will get cancer and we are all affected by cancer. As treatments improve, more and more people are living with cancer in their daily lives. This means they need more than medical help, they also need practical, emotional and financial support. Macmillan are a source of support, helping with all the things that people affected by cancer want and need. It's not only patients who live with cancer, so Macmillan also help carers, families and communities. They guide people through the system, supporting them every step of the way. They fund nurses and other specialist health care professionals and build cancer care centres.

People need practical support at home, so Macmillan provide anything from some precious time off for a carer, to a lift to hospital. People need emotional support, so Macmillan listen, advise and share information though their CancerLine, website, support groups and trained professionals. People need financial help to cope with the extra costs cancer can bring, so Macmillan give benefits advice, and grants for anything from heating bills to travel costs.
