We rely on our supporters for 99% of our income. Without you we couldn't provide any of our services for people living with cancer. For example:

• Approximately £2,000 could pay for 9,000 copies of 'The Cancer Guide', which provides a whole range of information about cancer, its treatment and care, and lists of helpful organisations.
• £10,000 could fund our CancerLine for 10 days, enabling staff and volunteers to answer calls, emails and letters from cancer patients and their friends and families.
• £100,000 could pay for a two room palliative care suite in a hospital, ensuring that cancer patients have a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere to rest in.
• Approximately £315,000 could fund two Macmillan nurses for over 3 years, providing vital medical, practical and emotional support.

The sponsorship that you raise through taking part in the ING New York City Marathon will help 1,000's of people affected by cancer in the UK today.
