Multi-channel retailer of tools and building materials Toolstation has raise £3 million for cancer care charity Macmillan Cancer Support. The fund raising efforts come as four Toolstation staff prepare to run the London Marathon with the company commemorating the fifth year of support for Macmillan Cancer Support. Amy Megicks, Millie Constance, Lewis Ellis, and Jonathan Rendall will all run in this year’s 26 mile race to raise over £10,000 for the charity. The retailer stated that the funds raised will allow Macmillan to continue to provide vital support to those affected by cancer across the UK. In practical terms, that £3 million figure could be used to hire 84 support workers for one year or pay 46 Macmillan Nurses for a whole year, helping to support people living with cancer and their families. Angela Rushforth, MD, Toolstation said: “This figure wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication of our colleagues and the generosity of our customers. We’re pleased that the money raised will continue to support Macmillan in their efforts to be there for everyone living with or affected by cancer.” Michael Stickland, director of Corporate Partnerships and Philanthropy, said: "Three million pounds! That's a whole lot of screws and sockets, some well broken-in running shoes and seriously big hearts. We're incredibly proud of our partnership with Toolstation and we can’t thank the team and customers enough for the continued support. Reaching this incredible sum represents collective kindness and dedication and is a powerful reminder that when we come together, we can achieve extraordinary things.” Supporters are welcome to donate to the fundraising page at: https://www.justgiving.com/team/toolstation-london-marathon-2025?utm_medium=qrcode&utm_source=offline
