Why don’t you start your Monday by taking a moment to read about our extremely brave and beautiful supporter, Suzanne Morrison. 🌟🌟🌟
Suzanne, from East Kilbride, raised a staggering £5,442.50 by hosting a hair cutting party in memory of her beloved Dad who passed away in 2018 from chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. This brave lady allowed friends and family to make the first cut of her long locks that she’s cultivated over the last 6 years!
Suzanne’s Dad spent a number of month...s in the care of Macmillan Nurses in Kirkton Home in Blantyre, Glasgow. Her incredible fundraising efforts are a way for her to show how thankful her family are to Macmillan Cancer Support and she wanted to give ‘a little bit of me’ and thought a drastic hair cut would be the perfect way to say thanks. 💚
It has been a privilege to get to know Suzanne and her family and we are so thankful for everything she has done for Macmillan Cancer Support.
If you’re inspired by Suzanne and would like to host a fundraiser for us, please visit https://www.macmillan.org.uk/…/orga…/ your-event-registration Or call 0300 1000 200.

A BIG thank you to the Robertson Family, who paid tribute to their Grandad, Dad and Father in law Neil who sadly died earlier this year after a short cancer diagnosis.
Neil and his wife Alice received support from their local Macmillan Nurse and chose Macmillan Cancer Support as the beneficiary at Neil’s service. Friends and family donated £1420.70 in memory, helping people living with cancer find their best way through.
It was a pleasure to meet and thank Lianne, Shannan, L...ee and Kate in Grandad’s favourite spot and share the impact their support will make to those living with cancer – thank you.
If you would like to fundraise for Macmillan we would love to hear from you, www.macmillan.org.uk or call 0300 1000 200

Introducing the wonderful Wilson Family from Glasgow. 💚
Since 2016, Kevin, Ellen and Siobhan Wilson have raised an incredible £7,508.75 for Macmillan Cancer Support.
In 2015, Kevin, Ellen and Siobhan lost a very dear family friend to cancer, Mr Donald MacDonald. The support from Macmillan inspired the family to start raising money in his memory.
... 11 year old Siobhan, at the time, decided that she wanted to start fundraising for Macmillan Cancer Support due to the help and care Donald received and the home care provided for him in his last few precious months.
The family have now hosted 3 successful Donald MacDonald Memorial Day Fly Fishing Competition's at Carron Valley, Drumtassie Fishery and Avon Trout Fishery. Each event is growing in success with the most recent one in June 2019 raising a fantastic £1,902.50! 🎣 🎣
Further to their Fly Fishing competitions, the family also enjoy hosting an annual Coffee Morning for Macmillan. They are a family of many talents! 🎂
By the end of 2019, Kevin and his family are hoping to smash their target of £10,000 to support those affected by cancer and we have every faith in them.
To Kevin, Ellen and Siobhan, we are so thankful for all your hard work and we appreciate the huge effort you continuously put into your fundraising, you are an inspirational family and we can’t wait to see what you do next! 💚🌟
If you enjoy your Fly Fishing and would like to support Macmillan and this wonderful family, please contact Kevin Wilson for more details on ‪07779 197 350‬.
