SWINDON CANCER APPEAL: WE want you to launch your own fundraising crusade to provide better care for cancer sufferers.

From afternoon tea parties to zodiac readings, arts and craft fairs to yogathons, there are hundreds of ways you can help improve the lives of people living with this devastating disease.

We want the whole community to get into the fundraising spirit.

Schools, businesses, pubs, youth clubs, enterprising individuals and community groups can all play their part.

Anyone organising a fundraising event can get support and advice from Macmillan's Swindon office, which can be contacted on Swindon 601636 or 601637. Staff can give advice on a range of issues.

Coupons will be printed in the Advertiser for anyone organising an event (see below right).

Fill in the details and send your coupons to Macmillan Cancer Relief, 30-33 Milton Road, Swindon, SN1 5JA.

We will give publicity to as many events as possible, and we will also try to provide coverage on the day.

If you don't want to organise an event, making a direct donation is simple.

Just fill in the coupon, which will appear regularly in the paper, and send it to the Macmillan office at the same address.

Cheques should be made payable to Evening Advertiser Appeal.

Cheques can also be paid into any branch of the Nationwide Building Society. Please do not send cash through the post.
