Charlie and Cameron recently celebrated their 7 year anniversary. 
Happy Anniversary fellas.

[…I wanted to briefly mention an incident at Georgia's ballet class this week. Among all the little girls in their pink tutus and ballet slippers, was a little boy – also in a pink tutu and ballet slippers. What was so nice to see was that nobody was commenting or making a fuss, he was just being allowed to get on with being in the class, dressing up and having fun like all the other children. It made me realise that things really do change and that my kids really are growing up in a less prejudiced world than the one I grew up in. That's got to be worth celebrating…]

The Macmillan Centenary Gala
Gala
We love saying thank you to our supporters. And that’s exactly what we did November 2011 when we hosted a gala at the London Palladium to celebrate our centenary. The event saw top performers giving their time for free and taking to the stage to pay homage to our 100 years of cancer support. 
Macmillan supporters arrived in their thousands and walked the glamorous green carpet. After taking their seats and packing the venue to the rafters, they were entertained by some excellent acts who were all performing for free.
Graham Norton hosted the evening and took the audience on a characteristically witty jaunt through Macmillan’s history, starting back in the days of Douglas Macmillan. There were sensational performances from the casts of much-loved musicals like The Lion King andJersey Boys. Side-splitting comedy came courtesy of Miranda Hart and Jason Manford, and superb showbiz turns were delivered by Matt Cardle, Jimmy Osmond and Diversity.
And it didn’t stop there. Macmillan ambassador Katherine Jenkins dazzled the audience with some heartfelt renditions of her best-known songs. But the true stars of the show were a team of our very own Macmillan nurses who’d bravely volunteered to show off their moves. Armed with gold, glittering top hats and dance steps taught by Arlene Phillips, they earned themselves a well-deserved standing ovation. 
I was totally blown away by how much Macmillan has achieved over the last 100 years. What a fantastic and important charity.  Dawn Porter, TV Presenter
