CANCER SUPPORT

Call For Volunteers

Due to a massive increase in new patients since the beginning of the year, we are launching an appeal for new volunteers.

Volunteering for CSG can be a very rewarding experience, we don’t ask for a commitment of many hours, if you are able to just offer a few hours a month that would be a great help.

While speaking Spanish can help, it is not essential. Many tasks do not involve translation. Likewise, for those who feel hesitant to offer their help directly to patients, there are many other admin and fundraising tasks. We offer ongoing training and preparation so that volunteers feel comfortable and equipped for any task to which they are assigned.

Presently there is a pressing need for German speaking volunteers on Mallorca, having said that we welcome anyone, whatever language they speak and wherever they live, Mallorca or Menorca. There is a place for everyone at CSG!

If you can help or would like to find out more, please email info@cancersupportmallorca.com

Walk Against Cancer Challenge

We would like to give a massive thanks to all those who contributed to the Walk Against Cancer Challenge.

Anita and her team have been doing a walk every year now (apart from during COVID) either in the Sierra Tramuntana in Mallorca or the Cami de Cavalls in Menorca. This year she came up with a challenge for those who couldn’t join her team, so that they could do the walk virtually. The idea was that during the month of April people registered to walk the same amount of steps (about 200.000) but at their own pace and time during the whole month.

This was the first time arranging such an event and we had no idea how it would go. We were amazed that 84 people registered to take part in the challenge, many of them children taking part with their parents. As well as those taking part, we would like to thank the many local businesses that donated prizes for the final event. It was a glorious day, and a lot of extra money was raised thanks to these amazing prizes. Thanks too go to The Olive Tree and Sa Vinya for their generosity in hosting the opening and closing events.

And of course we can’t forget all the volunteers that worked so hard behind the scenes to make the whole challenge a success. Thanks to all of you we raised over €9000 that will go a long way in helping cancer patients on the islands.

So now we are ready to start planning next year’s challenge!
