MOJACAR AREA CANCER SUPPORT
What is MACS?
An informal and friendly group of cancer patients and survivorsWhat does MACS do?
The group meet on a regular basis to talk about, and share information, relating to cancer and cancer related disorders. The members can, in the strictest confidence, openly discuss their individual experiences - past and present. They can talk about their illnesses, treatments and future expectations. MACS also offer one to one support for those people unable to travel.MACS is a charity and as such, relies on external support/donations. The group is raising much needed funds for research into cancer and, closer to home, for the immediate and future medical requirements of patients eg; providing a professional hospital translator, translations, travel to and from hospitals/medical centres
and group meetings.MACS is in its infancy, but is already proving invaluable to patients and
their carers. MACS would welcome and appreciate support from any parties willing to help, in order to increase its awareness and to raise funds in Mojacar and the surrounding areas, for the ongoing fight against this terrible disease.Next meetings and other info:
- Every Thursday Fundraiser at Marielas on Beach side (oppo "View Spain"). For more info call me. This is hosted by Ann & “her merry maidens” (Quiz nite). She is raising money for Macs.
