Monday 23 March 2015

Macmillan Cancer Support have been selected by the British Showjumping as their Charity of the Year 2015.

Macmillan’s was founded in 1911 by Douglas Macmillan and since then has grown into one of the largest charities within the UK.  Offering help, support, expert advice and information to all people with cancer they are widely recognised as a force for improving cancer care.

A source of support not only for the patient but also for carers, families and communities they also  fund nurses and other specialist health care professionals, build cancer care centres.  In 2013 alone their investment into offering this support reached £121 million.

Iain Graham, Chief Executive for British Showjumping commented  “I am sure that we are all aware of the superb work that Macmillan offer to  those who have been diagnosed with cancer.  With more than 2.5 million people living with cancer in the UK alone, it is inevitable that we have been made aware of how they have supported many of our members through the most difficult of times.  It was with this in mind that the British Showjumping Board felt Macmillan Cancer Support to be a charity worthy of our support”.
