Does no one have a bad word? Or the kindness of strangers.

I've just spent the last hour calling round on all the houses in my street. It seemed that everyone I spoke had come into contact with Macmillan and there were many sad stories of lost loved ones, but the unifying factor was the gratitude that everyone felt to wonderful help given by Macmillan. This sort of thing really helps me to put what we're doing in perspective and raising money for such a worthy cause makes me proud of what we're doing.
Some people wanted to give money straight away and many others have promised to look at the website, to donate, and to tell their friends and family about what we're doing.
I really hope that we'll smash our fund raising target.
