I AM writing to thank everyone who donated to the annual Macmillan Flag Day in York recently. We collected £2,376 on the day which is a great amount.

The Macmillan Cancer Relief York Appeal was launched last June to raise £400,000 to fund three new Macmillan posts: a head and neck nurse, a lead cancer nurse and a Macmillan GP.

Thanks to the continued support of the people of York, the total stands at £250,000.

For more information about the Macmillan York Appeal, please contact me on 01904 756402.
