The Rotherham-based Nuclear AMRC aims to work with Macmillan Cancer Support to raise £25,000 this year, alongside support for regional charities like the Treetops hospice.
Andrew Storer, CEO of the Nuclear AMRC saidL “Kick-starting activities over 2023 we have entered the Keswick to Barrow event with a 40-mile walk / run in the Lake District in May. We will also be making the most of our planned events and wider activities over the course of the year to promote and support this initiative including our flagship Nuclear Manufacturing Summit supply chain conference in October.
“I’m really pleased to be supporting Macmillan as part of our charity work in 2023. The support Macmillan provides is excellent and essential for individuals and families. Which is why we have committed to raising this money so they can continue their work. I’m sure we all know someone who has or is affected by cancer so I really hope our network will support our efforts where possible”.
Michaela Ryder, Macmillan’s Senior Fundraising Manager, said: “We are incredibly excited to be working in partnership with Nuclear AMRC. Right now, more than three million people are living with cancer in the UK, rising to 4 million by 2030. That means on average someone is diagnosed with cancer every 90 seconds. What we do has never been more important or urgent, but we are almost entirely funded by donations, so simply couldn’t continue our vital work without the support of organisations like Nuclear AMRC. Together we will do whatever it takes to give people with cancer the support they need.”
