Nearly all of us will be affected by cancer at some point in our lives, and it's the toughest fight most of us will ever face. But the Macmillan team are there for us every step of the way. They are the nurses and therapists helping us through treatment. The advisers telling us which benefits we're entitled to. The volunteers giving us a hand with the everyday things. The campaigners pushing for better cancer care. The fundraisers who make it all possible. None of us should face cancer alone, and with your help no one will. Be a part of the Big Mix 2013 and help make sure Macmillan is there for everyone affected by cancer.
