MAGGIE'S - 'Everyone's Home of Cancer Care'
On Friday 19th June, Sarah, along with our neighbour Sarah of ‘Shoes At Last’ boutique and our very own Diane from The French Tarte, will be joining Clare Marie Jones at the top of the Leadenhall Building - commonly known as ‘The Cheesegrater’ - to lean off the side and abseil to the bottom!
A challenge not for the faint-hearted.
Many of you reading this will recognise the name ‘Clare Marie Jones’ as our go-to florist for the past twenty years. We consider Clare-Marie as part of the TFT family. She is the artist behind our wonderful door arch and our festive window designs. Many guests have received one of her fabulous bouquets over the years, and it is possible that she knows our private room better than us given the number of table centrepieces she has created!
Last year, Clare-Marie was diagnosed with a head and neck cancer. She was fortunate to be fast-tracked and received excellent care from her team at the Royal Marsden Sutton.
And it was here, after one of her many appointments, that Clare-Marie first walked through the doors of Maggie’s. A beautiful, retreat-like building set in the grounds of the Royal Marsden Sutton. Inside, she found the emotional and practical support she needed from friendly, cancer-support specialists with the time and space to help as she navigated each step of her treatment.
As Clare-Marie’s friend, we are so grateful for the support she was able to access and would encourage you to donate, however small, to support the awesome foursome in their fundraising efforts.
Maggie’s offers professional support to anyone living with cancer and their families. It is free to anyone with no appointment or referral required.
