The difference the Longest Day can make
Macmillan are doing whatever it takes to support people living with cancer, but we can't do it without you. Take on the Longest Day Golf Challenge and you'll be making a real difference. Thanks to heroes like you - we'll be able to give people going through a cancer experience practical, emotional and personal support when they need it the most.
Where your fundraising goes
Macmillan nurses
Macmillan nurses do so much for people with cancer, from helping to ease the symptoms to providing emotional and practical support for the family.
Cancer information and support
From our free support line to information booklets to the Online Community, we answer questions, provide information and listen when people need to talk.
Help with money worries
Cancer can be tough on your finances. We help with things like benefits, grants for hospital travel and managing bills, so people can concentrate on getting through treatment.
Your fundraising can make a huge difference
