Foreword
By c.s. woolley
The idea behind putting together this volume of poetry to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support came from wanting to give back to an organisation that does amazing work and has affected me personally. My grandmother, Hilda Ransom, was diagnosed with lung cancer when I was a child. It was the Macmillan nurses that supported my family and her as she battled against the disease.
