On July 24th, I will be scaring myself witless to raise money for a superb local cancer charity, Al’s Pals.
I will be jumping out of a plane to raise money which Al’s Pals will use to provide buddies which help support, and give companionship and empathy for cancer patients who are feeling lost and alone.
So please sponsor me and put me completely out of my comfort zone to support this amazing local cause.
WHO ARE AL’S PALS? Al’s Pals is a service offered to all cancer patients in Milton Keynes. Al’s Pals is named after Alan Dumbell, who received cancer treatment at Milton Keynes University Hospital. (MKUH)Alan noticed that throughout his treatment, although he was surrounded by his loving family, he still felt very lonely and lost at times, and he often discussed having a ‘buddy’ to support and help him where he felt things were missing. It is his legacy to have a cancer buddy scheme like this and with the passion of his daughter and the support of Macmillan Cancer Support and MKUH, Al’s Pals was born.
