This we’re celebrating Nina and her friend, Lauren. They recently took on a Gymrace challenge, following the support Nina received during her dad’s treatment, and raised an incredible £1,368 for Maggie’s! 💪🏋️‍♀️🧡

Speaking of her family’s experience at Maggie’s, Nina said:

“It was somewhere we could go straight afterwards, take a breath, ask questions, cry, decompress and just feel a little bit held when everything felt completely overwhelming.”

Thank you, Nina and Lauren, for all you did to help us to continue supporting people living with cancer, along with their family and friends.

If you would like to take on a challenge to support Maggie’s, we’d love to hear from you! Find out more on our website: https://www.maggies.org/our-centres/maggies-cambridge/

Construction of our purpose-built Maggie's Cambridge has officially started! 🔨

The centre, designed by renowned architect Níall McLaughlin, is being built on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, alongside Addenbrooke's Hospital Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the future Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital, ensuring that we can support even more people facing cancer, as well as their family and friends, across Cambridgeshire.

The centre’s garden, designed by Tom Stuart-Smith Studio, will incorporate elements of their 2024 RHS Chelsea Flower Show gold medal-winning garden, created with support from National Garden Scheme.

Our Chief Executive, Dame Laura Lee DBE, shares the impact that our new centre will have: “It’s wonderful to have an official ceremony today to mark the groundbreaking of our new purpose-built centre in Cambridge.

“We have been supporting people facing a cancer diagnosis from across Cambridgeshire for 14 years, but our beautiful new purpose-built centre means we will have more space to support even more people impacted by cancer.

“Of course, visitors to our centre and the wider Cambridge Biomedical Campus will also be able to enjoy a stunning garden designed by Tom Stuart-Smith.

“Our centre will be open to anyone who needs it, with all our support free and no appointment or referral being necessary.

“I look forward to continuing to work with Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust to ensure we reach as many people across the region as possible. I would also like to thank everyone who has made the new centre possible and who give towards the cost of running our programme of support.”
