Abominable Snowmen

Maggie's is a really great charity, you can check out what they do on their website http://www.maggiescentres.org/maggies/maggiescentres/home/about/newintroduction.html. Maggie's rely on donations and fundraising and you can sponsor us at http://www.justgiving.com/mikeandcolum-monster and any donation, big or small, is very welcome.
