A DEDICATED business in Widnes has raised £100,000 for Macmillan and they now aim to raise even more.

Comfomatic, an adjustable bed business based in Mulberry Avenue, has hit the £100,000 fundraising mark for Macmillan Cancer Support.

The Comfomatic team marked this landmark by inviting Macmillan’s corporate fundraising manager, Megan Kong, to join them at a celebration in their call centre.

The money will help Macmillan provide much needed support to people with cancer and their families.

Two years ago, the directors of Comfomatic took the decision to start donating to charity.

Mike McNicholas explained: "One of the directors had recently retired from her job as a district nursing sister.

"She had worked closely with the Macmillan nursing team supporting people with cancer so we had first-hand knowledge of the tremendous work they do not only supporting their patients, but also supporting the healthcare professionals delivering frontline care to those patients.

"As we all know people touched by cancer, it just made sense that we did what we could to help Macmillan."

Comfomatic now have their sights firmly set on a huge target of £250,000 to help the charity.
