An Ely homeowner will open up her gardens later this month to raise money for a cancer support charity.
Juliette Tuplin, of Barton Road, is hosting an open garden event on April 26 to raise money for Maggie’s Wallace, which provides free practical, emotional and social support for people with cancer and their family and friends.
Juliette, 67, said: “I had to have 25 sessions of radiotherapy to treat a benign pituitary adenoma. This had been removed surgically but unfortunately it had regrown and would compromise my optic nerve if not treated.
“I found the treatment stressful despite the wonderful care I received. I was directed to Maggie’s Wallace and despite my situation being non malignant they were happy to accept me.
“The calm, warm and cheerful yet realistic attitude of everyone I met helped me so much to deal with my treatment. I can now talk to people with cancer in a natural and supportive way where previously I might have backed off. I can’t praise Maggie’s Wallace enough.”
