Impact of fundraising
Playing for something bigger
Macmillan are doing whatever it takes to support people living with cancer, but we can't do it without you. By taking on the Longest Day Golf Challenge and you'll be making a real difference to the 3 million people in the UK living with cancer.
You can help fund nursing care, help make more people aware of our support services, and help people living with cancer to be able to stay focused on their health journey instead of financial pressures. The Longest Day Golf Challenge is not just a game. It's much more important than that.

"A Macmillan nurse came to my bedside when I was at hospital. I just couldn't think straight. But she was there helping me during that time. And I didn't request it, they don’t need to be there for me, but they were. It was amazing. She was so great."
Roger, a health and fitness influencer and competitive body builder, was diagnosed with testicular cancer in November 2024.
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.
Helping people like LJ
LJ was 19 when he put his university plans on hold to undergo aggressive chemotherapy treatment for leukaemia.
Your fundraising can make a huge difference
Find out what we can do with the money that you raise:
£161 could provide emotional support to one person living with cancer for around eight weeks, through ongoing and regular support sessions with one of our Macmillan Buddies.
£294 could pay for a Macmillan Nurse for one day, helping people living with cancer and their families receive essential medical, practical, and emotional support.
£500 could pay for a Macmillan Professional to attend an advanced course in pain and symptom control. This would help the professional provide better advice to people with cancer on how to manage their symptoms and deal with the pain caused by treatment.
£1,962 could support the Welfare Rights Team on the Macmillan Support Line for two hours. In this time, the team could, on average, help identify £57,000 in unclaimed benefits for people affected by cancer.
£8,960 could support the Cancer Information and Support Team on the Macmillan Support Line for 20 hours. In this time, they could support 160 people affected by cancer who have questions about cancer or who need practical or financial support.
