SWINDON CANCER APPEAL: Danika has backed the Evening Advertiser's Swindon Cancer Appeal.

She said: "I didn't have a Macmillan nurse when I was in hospital but I'm pleased to know that money is being raised to help other people with cancer."

The appeal was launched in March to raise £600,000 to help people living with cancer.

The money will pay for two new Macmillan nurses for the Great Western Hospital and a specialist consultant in cancer care who will work at the GWH and the Prospect Hospice.

The money will fund these posts for three years, after which the NHS will take over.

Some of the money raised will also go towards a fund for a part-time anaesthetist.

So far £202,000 has been raised. For more information call the appeal office on 01793 601636.
