The Macmillan Nursing Charity
My Justgiving Page - if you can spare a £1 it all helps!
Since Douglas Macmillan founded the charity in 1911, Macmillan has grown to be the UK’s leading source of cancer support, helping more and more people affected by cancer, all with your help.
In 1911, a young man named Douglas Macmillan watched his father die of cancer. His father's pain and suffering moved Douglas so much, he founded the 'Society for the Prevention and Relief of Cancer'.
Douglas wanted advice and information to be provided to all people with cancer, homes for patients at low or no cost, and voluntary nurses to attend to patients in their own homes.
Today much of Douglas' legacy lives on. Macmillan are still a source of support for people living with cancer today and they are a force for improving cancer care.
