MANY readers will know from personal experience how the care and support of a Macmillan nurse can make a real difference to how someone copes with cancer.
Our 2,000 nurses do a wonderful job -- as do the many thousands of volunteers who give willingly of their time, skills and energy to raise the money to fund the nurses.
I would like to pay tribute to Macmillan's loyal band of volunteers throughout Lancashire who turn out in all weathers to hold a collecting tin, organise coffee mornings, or think up other imaginative ways of raising money for the charity.
New volunteers are always very welcome -- either to help with fundraising and administration or perhaps work in a cancer centre. If you would like to find out more, please ring me on 0161 905 1133.
JOSIE SWINDLES, Macmillan Cancer Relief, Area Fundraising Manager, North West.
